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.

LAND. Part I, out of print; Part II, in the press.
