PRESS OPINIONS.

The Hon. G. M. Thomson in writing this manual has evidently taken up a labour of love. He writes not so much for the scientific as for the general reader. It is a valuable and likely to be one of the most popular works issued by the Board of Science and Art. It is a notable addition to Mr. Thomson's other works.--Evening Post, Wellington, N.Z. A bright little book. Mr. Thomson has provided a book sufficiently scientific to be authoritative, and yet informal and simple enough to be interesting to the young and uneducated. We shall look forward eagerly to Part II.--Herald, Timaru, N.Z. It is a book of unusual interest. There is nothing like it in print, and the wonder is that it has not been done before. Mr. Thomson is to be thanked for producing a work so useful and so timely. Technical terms and scientific language have been avoided as far as possible, with the result that we have a narrative as interesting as any romance. It will prove a valuable and useful book.--Evening Star, Dunedin. N.Z.
