Rese�a del editor

Natural History has outgrown the limits of a single book. Trial has proved the folly of giving the student so many things to learn that he has no time to understand, and the error of condemning the student to expend his strength upon the details of classification, which may change in the coming decade, instead of upon structure, which is permanent. Of course, specialists will miss many things, and find abundant room for criticism in what they regard as deficiencies; but the work should be judged by what it does contain, rather than by what it does not. What is claimed, in the language of inventors, is the selection and arrangement of essential principles and typical illustrations from the standpoint of the teacher. The synthetic method is employed, as being the most natural: to begin with complex Man, instead of the simplest forms, would give a false idea. Man is not a model, but a monstrosity, the most modified of Vertebrates. But these outlines must be filled up, on the part of the teacher, by lectures, and by the exhibition of specimens; and, on the part of the student, by observation (noting, above all, the characteristic habits of animals), and by personal work with the knife and microscope. No text-book can take the place of nature, or supersede oral instruction from a competent teacher. Suggestions and corrections from naturalists and teachers will be thankfully received. In a work of this character, which is but a compound of the labors of all naturalists, it would be superfluous to make acknowledgments. The works referred to on page 397 have been specially consulted.
