THE IVORY KING.
A POPULAR HISTORY OF THE ELEPHANT AND ITS ALLIES.
By CHARLES F. HOLDER.
Square 8vo, with twenty-four full-page Illustrations, $2.00.
The wonderfully interesting array of facts which Mr. Holder brought together in his Marvels of Animal Life, was the fruit very largely of his personal observations. It forms one of the most stimulating and delightful contributions to the class of Natural History books for the young that has ever been made, and was a fitting forerunner to The Ivory King, which is devoted entirely to the Elephant, and has even a more vivid fascination than the first named volume. The summary of its contents includes the Natural History of the Elephant, its habits and ways and its intelligence, the Mammoth Three and Four Tusked Elephants, Hunting and Capturing Wild Elephants, the Elephant in Captivity, Rogue Elephants, the White Elephant, Trained Elephants, Show Elephants, Ivory, War Elephants, etc., etc. The numerous illustrations are especially excellent, being drawn from a great variety of sources.
It would be hard to name a book which would be a more welcome and valued addition to the library of the average boy or girl just beginning to cultivate a love of reading and an interest in the world around them.
