easier, if not as accomplished, as liimself. No book can better answer its purjoosc ; the 

 descriptions are as briglit as the pictures, and the kind-hearted playfulness of the style 

 ■Nvill make it an especial favourite. Unlike some popular manuals, it is the product of 

 firstrate science." — English Prtsbyterian Messenger.
