Excerpt from Our Woodlands, Heaths, and Hedges: A Popular Description of Trees, Shrubs In that pleasant and popular little work by the Rev. J. G. Wood, entitled "Common Objects of the Country," the author has proved how lively an interest may be imparted by a familiar yet accurate account of some of the most ordinary productions of nature, such as are daily to be seen around us, - the subjects so happily treated of in its pages being selected almost exclusively from among the insect tribes and minor animals. The limited compass of a pocket volume could, however, embrace a small proportion only of the multitudinous objects which give animation to the country, while many departments of natural history, both in the animal and vegetable kingdoms, were necessarily omitted altogether.
