A guide to the observation of local nature in monthly pictures. Prepared for home and school by Head Teacher Bernhard Landsberg. Third edition. With 84 illustrations after original drawings by Mrs. H. Landsberg. 1902. In original cloth binding 5.00 Marks.

One notices in every line of the book that the author is animated by a glowing love for nature and that he devotes himself with full dedication to the observation of plant and animal life. That instruction in nature study, if it is given in the spirit of the "Forays" by a teacher enthusiastic about his task, will be extraordinarily fruitful may be taken as self-evident. (Pedagogical Archive 1899, Issue 6.)

The manner of presentation is captivating and stimulating in the highest degree. In sum, a beautiful and excellent book that we most warmly recommend to friends of nature for themselves and their growing children. (Swiss Teachers' Newspaper.)
