A BOOK OF CURIOUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO NATURAL HISTORY. BY JOHN TIMBS. With Illustrations by ZWECKER. Post 8vo. 6s. cloth. "Amongst all the books of the season that will be studied with pleasure as well as profit, by girls as well as boys, there is not one more meritorious in aim, or more successful in execution, than _Strange Stories of the Animal World_. In his Preface to this useful compilation, the author of _Things not generally Known_ says that he has endeavoured 'to present wonders free from that love of exaggeration which besets narratives of Natural History.'"--_Athenæum._ "An excellent selection of bird and beast tales, taken by that clever and judicious book-maker, excellent Mr. John Timbs."--_Saturday Review._ "Mr. Timbs has never, perhaps, compounded a more attractive book."--_Examiner._ "This volume on the Animal World, by Mr. Timbs--the most industrious and interesting of compilers--will delight those model children who like only what is 'quite true,' and may also contribute to awaken in all children that great good taste, a love for Natural History."--_Notes and Queries._
