Special Notice.
To . . .
Town Clerks,
Clerks of Local Authorities,
Secretaries of Advertising and
Town Improvement Committees.
If you are interested in a District to which you wish to draw Public Attention, and think that it would be helped by the issue of a well-illustrated “Homeland Handbook,” write to the General Manager, The Homeland Association for the Encouragement of Touring in Great Britain, Association House, 22, Bride Lane, Fleet St., London, E.C.
THE . . .
Homeland Readers.
By M. T. YATES, LL.D.
With numerous Illustrations, Maps and Diagrams.
THE HOMELAND READERS, for Council and all Public and Private Schools, are issued by the Homeland Association, which is doing so much to encourage Touring at Home in the Motherland of our Empire, and in widening our knowledge of Great Britain, by publishing a series of Handbooks containing useful and interesting information relating to towns and country districts in various parts of the land. This “national and patriotic work” has not only received the commendation of the King, but his Majesty has authorised a copy of each volume issued by the Association to be sent to him.
THE HOMELAND READERS, like the Homeland Hand-books, contain a description of the most striking Geographical and Natural features, with particulars of the History, Traditions, Antiquities, Worthies, and Industries of each County. The treatment of the subject is very simple and, as far as possible, all difficulties are explained as they occur. The First, or Junior Book, for children under 10 years of age, contains but few place-names. Only the chief features and events are given, with sufficient details to awaken interest and impart life and colour. The Second, or Senior Book, for older children, is as comprehensive and exhaustive as the space will allow.
Book I.—STORIES of SURREY. Cloth Boards, 1/- net.
Book II.—The COUNTY of SURREY. Cloth boards. 1/3 net.
