This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.

Designed for school districts, educators, and students seeking to maximize performance on standardized tests, Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Fairy-Land of Science by Arabella B. Buckley was edited for students who are actively building their vocabularies in anticipation of taking PSAT¿, SAT¿, AP¿ (Advanced Placement¿), GRE¿, LSAT¿, GMAT¿ or similar examinations.PSAT¿ is a registered trademark of the College Entrance Examination Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation neither of which sponsors or endorses this book; SAT¿ is a registered trademark of the College Board which neither sponsors nor endorses this book; GRE¿, AP¿ and Advanced Placement¿ are registered trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which neither sponsors nor endorses this book, GMAT¿ is a registered trademark of the Graduate Management Admissions Council which is neither affiliated with this book nor endorses this book, LSAT¿ is a registered trademark of the Law School Admissions Council which neither sponsors nor endorses this product.

LIFE AND HER CHILDREN; GLIMPSES OF ANIMAL LIFE FROM THE AMCEBA TO THE INSECTS - 1881. LIFE AND HER CHILDREN LIFE IN THE-DEEP SEA . for description see Itst cfillustrat ons. His parent hand, From the mute shell-fish gaiping 011 the shore, To men, to angels, to celestial minds, For ever leads tile generations on To 11igher scenes of being 1s-hile supplied From day to day mith his enliveiling breath, Inferior orders in succession rise To fill the void below - PREFACE - THE plan of this work is so fully explained in the Introductory Chapter that but little preface is needed. Its main object is to acquaint young people with the structure and habits of the lower forms of life and to do this in a more systematic way than is usual in ordinary works on Natural History, and more simply than in text-books on Zoology. For this reason I have adopted the title Life and her Children, to express the family bond uniting all living things, as we use the term Nature and her Works, to embrace all organic and inorganic phenomena and I have been more careful to sketch in bold outline the leading features of each division, than to dwell upon the minor differences by which it is separated into groups. I have made use of British examples in illustration wherever it was possible, and small specimens of most of the marine animals. figured Inay be found upon our coasts at low tide. In conclusion, I wish to express my great obligation to Mr. R. Garnett of the British Museum, for his most kind assistance in finding works of reference on the special subjects and to many men of science, especially Mr. Lowne, F. lI. C. S., and Mr. Haddon, Demonstrator of Comparative Anatomy at Cambridge, for their valuable criticisms on the proof-sheets. The Illustrations of the marine animals have been drawn by Dr. Wild, artist of the Challenger Expedition, and those of the insects by Mr. Edwin Wilson, to both of whom my thanks are due, for the care and assiduity with which they have carried out my instructions.
