"_This is not a regular book of natural history, but a
description of all the living creatures that came and went
in a summer's day beneath an old pear tree, observed by
eyes that had for the nonce become microscopic, recorded
by a pen that finds dramas in everything, and illustrated
by a dainty pencil.... We can hardly fancy anyone with a
moderate turn for the curiosities of insect life, or for
delicate French esprit, not being taken by these clever
sketches._"--GUARDIAN. "_A whimsical and charming
little book._"--ATHENÆUM.

"_Those who have read only the extracts given, will not
need to be told how amusing and happily touched it is.
Those who read it for other purposes than amusement can
hardly miss the sober and sound political lessons with
which its light pages abound, and which are as much needed
in England as by the nation to whom the author directly
addresses his moral._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE. "_This
little book is very clever, wild with animal spirits,
but showing plenty of good sense, amid all the heedless
nonsense which fills so many of its pages._"--DAILY
NEWS. "_In an age little remarkable for powers of
political satire, the sparkle of the pages gives them every
claim to welcome._"--STANDARD.
