This is indeed a home book of endless amusement.—Boston Atlas.
An admirable book of home education. We commend it to families.—Alb. Spec.
A work admirably adapted to the instruction and amusement of the young.—Reg.
A pleasant book, full of all sorts of information upon all sorts of subjects.—Jour.
One of the most delightful works for young people we have ever met with. Few persons, young or old, could examine its pages without gaining knowledge of a useful kind. It is one of the most successful combinations of the pleasant with the useful to be found.—Daily Advertiser.
A book of not only “pleasant pages,” but of singularly instructive pages. Even people not so very young might be profited by its perusal.—South Boston Gazette.
It presents much solid information, and opens before the young new fields of observation. The youngsters will clap their hands with joy.—Scientific American.
There is a great deal of valuable information communicated in a very simple and easy way. While it is full of useful instruction to children, it is also suggestive to those who are called to conduct their education.—Puritan Recorder.
We like this book: it is well fitted for the family library. The young like facts; when these are set forth in a pleasant way, the interest is greater than fiction ever awakens, unless the fiction is made to appear like truth.—Godey’s Ladies’ Book.
