Synopsis
Excerpt from Short Cuts and by-Paths
The author is aware that not much of scientific value has been demonstrated in these pages, and that there have been few wonders in animal or plant life described, which have escaped the sharp eyes of the specialist.
If, however, he has transmitted to his lines any of the enthusiasm which he himself felt while beholding these scenes, such as may lead the young folks, or the general reader, to draw the curtain aside and see more of Nature, his object has been accomplished.
