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 enought 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.
