THE TEMPLE PRIMERS

An International Primer- 

 Cyclopaedia 



\ SERIES of small volumes of condensed informa-

 leading authorities, adapted at once to the needs of 

 the general public, and forming introductions to 

 the special studies of scholars and students. 



The aim of the Publishers is to provide, in a con-

 Series will accordingly aim at the comprehensive 

 inclusion of the chief departments of Literature,

 volumes will form a complete and trustworthy 

 Primer - Cyclopaedia of modern knowledge.
