"We have seen no book along this line that is more stimulating and inspiring. It shows the teacher just how to go to work to get the pupils interested and to make them observant. This is a modern subject, and it is handled in this volume in a modern and masterly manner. We com- mend the work to all teachers and parents." " This is an attractive manual on ' Nature Study,' full of suggestion, abounding in infor- mation, instinct with inspiration. Nothing has yet appeared along this line that is more com- plete, varied, judicious, and directive than this book; it is peerless."

COMMENTS " I like the appearance of your book very mucli, and the idea, of presenting history to young children in the form of history readings, is the correct way." " It is admirable. When I next purchase books for supplementary reading, I shall certainly add some 'Wilson's History Readers.'" " I like it very much indeed, and will order some of the books for supplementary reading." " I have examined the Reader, and think it a desirable and beautiful book, and shall order some for one of the schools, certainly, and pos- sibly more." " I think it is an excellent book ; in fact, the best of its kind that I have ever seen." " I am more than pleased with it. In my judg- ment it is by far the best of the books of its kind that has come to my notice. It shall be the very first to be put into our school for sup- plementary reading."
