“_Mr. Hogg is a famous caterer in the way of books for youth. All his
books are excellent of their class; they are amply illustrated, and
it seems as though Mr. Hogg had resolved to be the special caterer in
healthy literature for the youngsters, and his publications are well
adapted to the various stages of youth of both sexes._”—INDIAN DAILY
NEWS.

=The Band of Mercy Guide to Natural= History. An Elementary Book
on Zoology: Instructive, Amusing, and Anecdotical. By VERNON S.
MORWOOD, Author of “Facts and Phases of Animal Life,” “Wonderful
Animals,” etc., and Lecturer to the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
“It is an excellent idea to connect the knowledge of Nature with
the thought of kindness and tenderness to dependent creatures. We
welcome this volume as a means towards this end.”—_Spectator._
“Its accurate statement of facts is combined with a number of
amusing anecdotes, which are sure to rivet the attention of the
juvenile reader.... We know of no better book of its class on this
most interesting branch of study.”—_Guernsey Mail and Telegraph._
“Satisfies a need which has been felt for some elementary work
on natural history to interest the young folks who belong to the
Band of Mercy. Plentiful engravings and popular lessons on birds,
beasts and reptiles, with some anecdotes, make up this pleasant
book.”—_Christian World._
“Any book which advocates kindness to animals ought to find a
warm welcome in the school and household. The book before us
would form a good reading book for the upper standards in our
Schools.”—_Literary Churchman._
“One of the best shilling’s-worth in the market. It will teach our
youngsters to be kind to all things that live.”—_Sword and Trowel._
“A useful little book on natural history, simple and unpretentious
in style, and copiously illustrated. There is no better
preventative of cruelty to animals than a knowledge of their
habits and characteristics, and books of this sort, therefore, can
scarcely be multiplied too much.”—_Aberdeen Free Press._
