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.
