Excerpt from Insulinde: Experiences of a Naturalist's Wife in the Eastern ArchipelagoSince my narrative explains itself, I have little to Say here beyond accounting for a certain resemblance in these pages to the latter part of the work issued by my husband last year. After I joined him, we shared for. The most part the same experiences; but we looked upon them from an entirely different standpoint. Many of my own sex who might turn from A Naturalist's Wanderings because of the admixture of scientific matter, may find some interest in reading my simpler account.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
