First published in 1882, "Nature Studies" is a collection of assorted essays and articles by various authors on all manner of nature subjects, ranging from heterology and horticulture to ornithology and beyond. This fantastic collection will appeal to those with an interest in naturalism and nature in general, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "Charles R. Darwin", "Newton and Darwin", "Dreamer", "A Poisonous Lizard", "Birds with Teeth", "The Fiji Islands", "Our Unbidden Guests", "The First Daffodil", "Strange Sea Monsters", "The Origin of Buttercups", "Intelligence in Animals", "Found Links", "Our Ancestors", "What is a Grape?", "A Wonderful Discovery", etc. Edward Clodd (1840 - 1930) was an English writer, banker, and anthropologist famous for his various and notable literary and scientific friends, including the likes of Edward Fitzgerald, Samuel Butler, Andrew Lang, and others. Other notable works by author include: "The Childhood of the World" (1872) and "Jesus of Nazareth" (1880). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of readers now and for years to come.
