Excerpt from Fourteen Weeks in Zoology His work is prepared upon the same general plan as the preceding books of the Series. Among the principal features are: Brevity directness of statement; such a presentation of the subject as will lead the pupil to love the study; frequent foot-notes, containing anecdotes, curious facts, explanations, etc. A uniform system of analysis in bold paragraph titles; and a gradual introduction of scientific terms and language, so as to fit the scholar to read zoological literature.
