OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The Readers bear evidence on every page of the author's great experience of School Work, and of his thorough grasp of the conditions under which the elements of geography are taught in the standards."—School Board Chronicle.
"In an examination of these volumes the feature that first strikes the reader is, probably, the amount of information stored within them, and the more one penetrates into them the more this becomes apparent. The author has spared no labour to make his books the means of conveying geographical knowledge. The information is full, sound, and exhibits considerable research. Illustrations are introduced here and there, and the maps are very well done—distinct, not crowded with names, but just sufficient to strike the attention of the pupil."—Schoolmaster.
