"A rich book at a marvellously low price. The style is sprightly and simple. Every chapter contains something we all want to know."

NEWARK DAILY ADVERTISER, N.J.:

"As an educator this book is worth a year's schooling, and it will go where schools of a high grade cannot penetrate. For such a book twenty-five cents seems a ridiculous sum."

J.W. BASHFORD, Auburndale, Mass.:

"A marvellous book, as fascinating as Dickens, to be consulted as an authority along with Britannica, and even fuller of practical hints than the latter's articles. I do not know how you can print its 300 pages for 25 cents."

AMERICAN, Philadelphia:

"Mr. Williams' work is a practical compendium."
