Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton will give a lecture on "Modern Methods and Views in Field Natural History," this evening at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Natural History Society. Owing to the great demand for seats the place of the lecture has been changed from the Fogg Lecture Room, as previously announced, to the New Lecture Hall.
Mr. Seton, well known as an artist, author and lecturer, was born in England in 1860. He was educated at the Toronto Collegiate Institute, Canada, and the Royal Academy, London. From 1866 to 1870 he lived in the great forests of Canada, and spent five years on the western plains of the United States. In 1886 he was appointed official naturalist to the government of Manitoba, and published two books on the birds and mammals of that province.
He studied art in Paris from 1890 to 1896, and is now well known as an animal painter and illustrator.
He is the author and illustrator, among other books, of: "An Art Anatomy of Animals," 1896; "Wild Animals I Have Known," 1898; "The Trail of the Sandhill Stag," 1899; "The Biography of a Grizzly," 1900; "Lives of the Hunted," 1901; "Krag the Kootenai Ram," and "Two Little Savages."
Admission to the lecture will be by ticket only until 7.50 o'clock, when the doors will be opened to the public.
