The volume is intended for growing boys and girls, as well as to help teachers and parents. It does not, the author says in his preface, propose any new theory of light or advocate any new teaching which might be set aside. ‘It furnishes a harmonious and satisfactory interpretation of life.’”—N. Y. Times.
[*] “It is sufficiently philosophical in its nature and scientific in its method to meet the intellectual demands of its readers, and to provide a basis for character-building that will stand the strain and criticism of after-life.”
