L'éditeur de ce travail n'a pas négligé le fait que c'est avant tout un âge pratique—un âge d'objet-enseignement.

. The big game of North America. Its habits, habitats, haunts, and characteristics; how, when, and where to hunt it .. . are many other names and subjects that I shouldlike to speak of in detail, but time and space forbid. The editor of this work has not overlooked the factthat this is preeminently a practical age—an age of object-teaching. He has, therefore, illustrated his book in a waythat he and his contributors may justly feel proud of. Altogether, there is given here such a study of thenatural history of our game quadrupeds, and of the thrill-ing incidents encountered in hunting them, as has neverbefore been offered to the reading world. Each chapter inthis book is in itself a complete work, and the book, as awhole, is a most valuable library. Any one of the names on Mr. Shields list of contribu-tors should insure the sale of an entire edition of his book, and when we multiply this possibility by ffv^enty-six, thewhole number of names on liis title-page, the resultobtained indicates the magnitude of the success that should, and that we hope will, crowni his labors and those of hiscollaborateurs..

An antlered headWas raised, the air was sniiled, and then the soundOf heavy hoofs was heard. He stamped—he stoodIn stupid awe. A crash! The monster, dead, The hunters prize, lay weltering on the ground. :irN his far western habitat, the Moose usually lives higherup the mountain-sides than either the Elk or the Deer, -, „ though on some parts of the western slo
