Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings of a Naturalist In these pages I have attempted to set down the varied experiences which fall to the lot the nature lover in his wanderings. They deal chiefly with the highlands of Scotland and their birds, but the reader will find descriptions of the Northumbrian coast in winter, the Aran Islands west of the Irish coast, and a hill pass of the Pyrenees. Many of the chapters first saw the light in the Scotsman, to the editor of which I am under an obligation for his courtesy in allowing of their reproduction in book form. I must also here acknowledge my indebtedness to the editors of the Times, Country Life, and Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News for permission to reproduce articles which appeared in the first place in these papers. In the compiling of the book, and more especially in the taking of the photographs, I have been constantly helped by my wife, and the book owes a great deal to her assistance and encouragement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of a Young Naturalist There is no country on the face of the earth that pos sesses greater interest in the eyes of the scientific or travelled than Mexico, the scene where the adventures so graphically and clearly narrated in this volume transpired nor is this partiality to be wondered at when we recall to memory what a lavish hand Nature has subtended to her. Although several of our most celebrated naturalists have climbed its lofty volcanic mountains, explored its lagoons and giant rivers, and traversed its immense forests, still, from the vast extent of that country and variety of climate - caused by difference of elevation - much yet remains to be done ere the public become thoroughly conversant with its arboreal and zoological productions.

Download or read book Rambles and Reveries of a Naturalist Classic Reprint written by William Spiers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles and Reveries of a Naturalist His little volume of Natural History sketches has very little to do with opinions or speculations. The aim of the writer has been to describe the facts and phenomena of Nature as they have appeared to present themselves to his own observation. They are life-pictures rather than compilations. So far as systematic arrangement is concerned, there has certainly been an effort to treat each subject taken up in such a way as to lay at least a stepping-stone on the path to a more serious contemplation of the sciences of the text-book and the laboratory, but the primary intention of the author has been rather to awaken or to stimulate a love for Nature in the minds of some who may not as yet have suspected what wondrous and ever-varying beauty lies everywhere about us in ditch and pond, in rock and stone, in river and sea, on earth and in the skies. The same objects have been described by other and abler pens, but facts and laws present them selves in different aspects to different minds, and the ceaseless and diversified operations of Nature cannot be too frequently portrayed. Even those who would not care to claim the character of students of Nature are not unwilling to be considered lovers of Nature, and for such the plain and non-technical descriptions of a few of her secrets, by those who tell the story of what they themselves have seen and felt in her presence, cannot fail to possess some degree of interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hermit Naturalist On a frosty morning in the autumn of '93, when I was laboriously rowing against the strong current of the Delaware, above tide. Water, in search of a specimen of wild fowl for my cabinet, I saw the old hermit, sitting likea statue in his anchored boat. His shotgun rested on his knees, and he was evidently awaiting a shot at the wild-fowl that occasion ally y over at this season of the year. Aux ious to secure a nearer view of my hermit friend, I rowed towards him in such a manner as not to arouse his suspicions of my curiosity inspired purpose. I rowed but a short distance when I observed a fine ock of wild ducks y over me. At once I turned my attention to the lone sportsman. He also saw the game and was standing easily in his boat and taking care ful aim. As the ock passed directly over him he fired, when to my surprise and horror, he lost his balance, dropped his gun and madly grasped at the side of his boat as he went over board and disappeared from my anxious gaze, in the swiftly rushing current. Believing the current would carry him far below his anchored boat, I pulled with all my strength to intercept him as he came down stream. Soon his head appeared above the surface of the water, a hun dred yards or so from me. Increasing my efforts I soon rested in his way as the swift current swept him toward me, and I called to him to seize hold of my boat. He was an ex pert swimmer and soon grasped the stern of my boat, when I shipped my oars, and helped him aboard, chilled from the effects of his untimely bath. When safely seated in my boat, and having recovered his breath after his exhausting efforts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Wanderings in South America Classic Reprint written by Charles Waterton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in South America Content is wealth, the riches of the mind, And happy he who can that treasure find. Gilbert Whit-e and Charles Waterton are pre-eminent among English naturalists for their complete devotion to the study; both excelled as observers, and the writings of both combine the interest of exact outdoor observation with the charm of good literature. Water ton was born on June 3rd, 1782, at Walton Hall, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, a place which had for several centuries been the seat of his family. His father, Thomas W'aterton, was a squire, fond of fox hunting, but with other tastes, well read in literature, and delighting in the observation of the ways of birds and beasts. His grandfather. Whose grave is beneath the most northern of a row of old elm trees in the park, was imprisoned in York on account of his known at tachment to the cause of the Young Pretender. As he meant to join the rebel forces, the imprisonment prob ably saved his own life and prevented the ruin of the family. In his grandson's old age, when another white haired Yorkshire squire was dining at Walton Hall, I remember that Waterton and he reminded one another that their grandfathers had planned to march together to Prince Charley, and that they themselves, so differ ently are the rights of kings regarded at different ages.

Download or read book The Home of a Naturalist Classic Reprint written by Biot Edmondston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home of a Naturalist Somewhere in the mysterious space in the roof was stored for some years a collection of stuffed animals, the gifts of well-known naturalists. These creatures were periodically put out on the lawn to air; and a queer sensation they produced there. The domestic animals took flight, all except the dogs, which showed fight at first; but soon learned that the fierce, wild beasts had long since ceased to claw. Unfortunately, the small house, crowded with children and other live dependents, had but sorry accommodation for the stuffed beasts, which in course of time began to look mangy to a degree. At last, some wise person suggested that the collection was decidedly bad for people, and a bonfire was made of it. Armadillo, sloth, tiger, bear, and bison, surmounted by a boa constrictor - whose internal arrangement of arsenical soaped stuffing had been leaking all about the place for months - made a grand pyre, round which the dogs and haims bounced delightedly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Playtime Naturalist The writer of this book has a liking for intelligent English lads, just as some people have for blue china and etchings. He ventures to think the former are even more interesting objects. And, as the writer was once a boy himself, and vividly remembers the never-to-be-forgotten rambles and Observations of the Objects in the country; and, moreover, as he treasures up such reminiscences as the most pleasant and innocent of an active man's life, he thought he could not do better than enlist this younger generation in the same loves and the same pleasures. He has endeavoured to do his best for his human hobbies, and hopes their lives may be richer and sweeter and more.
