THIS Volume has been written literally among Birds and Flowers, and has been my pleasant occupation through the last summer months; and row it is completed, my ear 30 nest wish is, that it may convey to many a heart a relish for the enjoyment of quiet, country pleasures; a love for every living creature, and that strong sympathy which must grow in every pure heart for the great human family.
