For boys in particular the work is an admirable 

 one." Aberdeen Herald. 



"Of the many publications for youth at the 

 Christmas season, we are sure that ' Leaders of 

 Men ' will command a high place in the estimation 

 of boys. In it we have short biographical notices, 

 not only of men born to command, but also of 

 those who, by industry and perseverance, raised 

 themselves from the working-classes to high posi- 

 tions in the scientific and commercial world. The 

 book opens with a graphic sketch of the late Prince 

 Consort. The volume is replete with matter of the 

 most attractive description, and cannot fail to rivet 

 the attention not only of young readers, but also of 

 those of riper years," Edinburgh Daily Review. 



" It is a capital book for boys, full of high 

 teaching and noble incentive. Happy are the boys 

 and girls of this generation, who have such writers 

 to cater for them." Glasgow Citizen. 



"Will prove very acceptable to a great many 

 people who have not time to read big books. . , 

 The memoirs are written in a clear and animated 

 style, and embrace the essential facts in the detailed 

 biography of each person." Inverness Courier. 



"Excellent examples of a kind of writing in 

 which boys take great delight, and as such may 

 be honestly recommended to other circles of 

 readers." Glasgow Herald. 



" Instructive and tastefully written biographies. 

 For boys in particular, the work is a most admirable 

 one, though it may be read with profit and pleasure 

 by many others." Aberdeen Daily Free Press.
