Some Curious Flyers Creepers And Swimmers

Excerpt from Some Curious Flyers, Creepers and Swimmers The reasons why this book appears as appended to the series of the Natural History supplementary readers are as follows: In preparing the third and fourth books of the series, much more matter accumulated than could be contained in the volumes of the size contemplated; and the only alternative was either to cut down the chapters by leaving out a large share of the story part, or to drop whole chapters, thus omitting the notice of many orders of animals, and marring the original plan of the work. After deliberation, the latter method was adopted, and reluctantly the four volumes were given to the public with important topics wholly omitted. The amount of this matter was so great that it was at length resolved to make this additional volume, so that our little friends at home and at school may have the story of animals and the simple outline of their description nearly complete.

Two Women demonstrates Constance Fenimore Woolson's keen observations on the issues she was the most passionate about. She talks of topics such as the cultural and political transformation of the United States during the Civil War, the position of female writers and artists and women in general in the nineteenth century, and the increasing implications of nationalism and imperialism. Constance Fenimore Woolson was an American novelist, poet, and short-story writer. She is best known for fiction about the Great Lakes region, the American South, and American immigrants in Europe. She wrote stories and travel narratives while traveling throughout the South, highlighting the changes facing Americans after the Civil War.

The sketches included in this volume were written during a residence in the South, which has embraced the greater part of the past six years. As far as they go they record real impressions; but they can never give the inward charm of that beautiful land which the writer has learned to love, and from which she now severs herself with true regret.
