Abstract
MR. SETON-THOMPSON'S success as a writer about animal life lies in the fact that he endows his subjects with human faculties and sympathies. It is, of course, illogical to make animals consider everything from an anthropomorphic point of view; but, after all, this is the only point of view which it is possible for us to conceive, and there is no objection to occupying it, provided that its artificial nature is borne in mind. By following this method, Mr. Seton-Thompson's animal stories have a sentimental interest, and they create a love of animate nature in the minds of all who read them. There are four stories in the present volume, and each is an instructive as well as interesting narrative of animal life. Children will read the stories with delight, and adults will find their sympathies awakened by them.
