cloth, 5_s._
"Few letters that have appeared in these columns have been more
popular than those addressed to us by the Beemaster. We do not
wish to detract from this praise in saying that they were
popular because the subject is popular. Bees have always been
interesting to mankind, and no man of ordinary intelligence can
describe in any detail their natural history without unfolding
a little romance--a kind of fairy annals, that fills us with
wonder and insures our attention. But our friend the Beemaster
has the knack of exposition, and knows how to tell a story
well; over and above which, he tells a story so that thousands
can take a practical and not merely a speculative interest in
it."--_Times._
