Cornell Nature-Study Leaflets is a lengthy series of nature study leaflets for both teachers and students. They were used by the College of Agriculture and Cornell University in New York during the beginning of the 20th century.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
