“Mens sana in corpore sano.”
“We like the thorough way in which Mr. Adams deals with ‘Self-Culture: Moral, Mental, and Physical.’ His chapter on the courtesies of home life, and the true relation between parent and child, is specially valuable nowadays. He certainly answers the question, ‘Is life worth living?’ in a most triumphant affirmative.”—Graphic.
“Books for young men are constantly appearing—some of them genuine, earnest, and useful, and many of them mere products of the art of book-making. We have pleasure in saying that this volume by Mr. Adams deserves to take its place among the best of the first-mentioned class. It is fresh, interesting, varied, and, above all, full of common sense, manliness, and right principle.”—Inverness Courier.
“Young men who wish to make something of themselves should invest seven sixpences in this most valuable volume.”—Sword and Trowel.
“A better book of the class in all respects we have seldom had the pleasure to notice.... We cannot too strongly recommend it to young men.”—Young Men’s Christian Association Monthly Notes.
“A glimpse through Mr. Hogg’s catalogue shows how admirably he caters for the young of both sexes.”—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
