" I have carefully looked over the Humanity Series of Heading Books 

 edited by the Rev. F. 0. Morris, B.A., of Nunburnholme, and I say sin- 

 cerely to such a work ' God speed.' Would that all our school books were 

 more devoted to teaching and training the minds of the young to acts of 

 kindness and mercy towards the brute creation. The various anecdotes, poet- 

 ical pieces, narratives, &c., are put together in such a way that while they 

 enlist the sympathies of the children on the side of right and mercy, they 

 are still interesting in a high degree. Every fair critique must admit 

 them to be a valuable collection, and every Christian will wish them 

 heartily God speed." WILLIAM W. F. KEELING, of University College, 

 Durham, Superintending Master of a group of Schools for the Right Hon. 

 the Baroness Burdett Coutts. 



" We turn with a feeling of relief to the reading books of Mr. Morris. 

 We wish Mr. Morris all success in this praiseworthy effort, and we hope 

 that his books will find a welcome in all elementary schools. To teach 

 children to love animals will not only do away with a great deal of useless 

 suffering to the animals, but will also open a new source of happiness to 

 the children themselves. The child will surely be a happier child who 

 through long lonely days of out- door work can find ' friends in fur and 

 feather ' all around him, and who, like St. Francis, sees a little brother or 

 sister in every living thing that chance may bring across his path."

 the anecdotes being so carefully selected." JOHN SUTTON, Inspector of

" They are excellent of their kind. They ought to be introduced into 

 every school in the country." THE REV. G. R. GLEIG, Chaplain General
