“In a new edition, which is sure to be called for soon, the path to the solid knowledge the book contains might be made easier by a more logical arrangement of its contents and by the addition of two elementary chapters, one outlining, at the beginning of the book, the general characteristics of a good water supply and one, in the middle of the book, on the general plan and principles of water filtration.” C.-E. A. Winslow.

“A series of ‘the fairy-tales of science,’ in which we are shown the slow steps by which life crept into higher forms from moneron to man, the text being largely supplemented by excellent illustrations from drawings and photographs. The value of the book lies in the strong impulse it is sure to raise in many readers to verify the statements for themselves, and thereby enlarge the circle of students of science.”—Ath.
“The author has ranged his facts admirably and the book, being written in very simple and almost non-scientific language, should be very widely read.”

“It may be said at once that Mr. Headley has done very well indeed what he set out to do in this book. In the reviewer’s opinion, there exists no other book which in the field covered can compare in general excellence with this.” Raymond Pearl.
