ダウンロード Colin Clout's Calendar: The Record of a Summer, April-October (English Edition) 本

Here are thirty-nine picturesque studies of hedgerow, moor, and forest, of stream, field, orchard, and garden. Mr. Grant Allen, the “Evolutionist at Large,” discourses pleasantly and profitably of many of the beautiful and curious sights which the country-side affords from April to October. While his sketches, or rather pictures, are gracefully and sympathetically drawn, they reveal everywhere a keen insight into the meaning of nature. He has been most successful in placing the results of recent researches in evolution before cultivated, but non-scientific readers. Nor is the volume before us without original matter, for Mr. Grant Allen has added observations and arguments of his own to the facts and reasonings of Wallace, Darwin, and other Workers.
