An interesting book by a high authority, based on a course 

 of his successful, popular lectures. His narrative is well 

 unified and developed, and his style so simple that children 

 as well as older folk may enjoy the work. The illustrations 

 are unusually effective. 



N. Y. Sun: A charming book . . . showing that the greatest learning 

 can be combined with the utmost simplicity of expression ... a book 

 of intense interest . . . the pictures are skilfully arranged to elucidate 

 the text. 



N. Y. Globe: A. great deal more lively than it sounds. . . . Huxley 

 himself could not have talked more instructively in such simple 

 language. 



N. Y. Tribune .-Opens up a world of new interest, popular rather 

 than technical.

A readable and pictorial survey, brief but nevertheless 

 accurate, of the recent progress in the many branches of 

 science all leading towards the realization of man's king- 

 domthe conquest and control of nature. 



H. I. Brock in a three-column notice in the New York Times Saturday 

 Review, An impressive statement of human progress in knowledge 

 and power by a conservative scientist who believes man soon able to 

 eliminate disease . . . exceedingly interesting ... it gathers into a 

 very small compass and presents sharply to the layman an immensely 

 impressive set of facts and ideas.
