    are entertaining . The great feature which is likely to secure many readers for the volume before us is that almost every ^ animal — mentioned

    in it is to be seen alive in the Zoological Gardens or stuffed in the British 3 tuseum ( the note to this effect in the preface might huve added that the

    great Natural History Museum , formerly in Bloomsbury , is now at South Kensington ) , and parents or teachers who wish to teach children in the

    pleasantest way will do well to take Miss Buckley as a companion on their visits to these establishments . The authoress acknowledges in her
