The Preface of this book closes with these words : " That his (Edison's) 

 life is a splendid stimulus to every American boy and girl, to every American 

 man and woman, is the writer's belief, and to fling before the youth of the 

 United States the heroic figure of America's greatest inventor in its most 

 clarion appeal is the aim and purpose of the author." This exactly describes 

 the contents, and the work is specially suitable for the juvenile reader of all 

 countries. That such a biography as this should have been written during 

 Mr. Edison's lifetime is the best testimony to the value of his work.

A well-timed publication designed more particularly for allotment holders^ 

 but suitable for any one who has a small amount of ground to cultivate. 

 Essential knowledge, only, is given in such a form that the veriest beginner 

 could make a success of his gardening, and in such a small compass that the 

 plea of want of time would constitute no excuse for omitting to study the book 

 carefully.
