POPULAR SCIENCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
By CHARLES R. GIBSON, F.R.S.E.
"Among writers for boys on science, easily the most skilful is Mr. Charles Gibson. He writes so clearly, simply and charmingly about the most difficult things that his books are quite as entertaining as any ordinary book of adventure. Mr. Gibson has a first-rate scientific mind and considerable scientific attainments. He is never guilty of an inexact phrase—certainly, never an obscure one—or a misleading analogy. We could imagine him having a vogue among our young folk comparable with that of Jules Verne."—The Nation.
"Mr. Gibson has fairly made his mark as a populariser of scientific knowledge."—Guardian.
