OPINIONS OF WEIGHT 



THE NATION 



"A wonderful enterprise, admirably planned, and deserving 

 the highest success/* 



WESTMINSTER GAZETTE 



"We have nothing but the highest praise for these little 

 books, and no one who examines them will have anything 

 else." 



TIMES 



"The undertaking bids fair to prove of real value as an 

 educative influence. . . . The information that they give, far 

 from being scrappy, is wonderfully complete and clearly pre- 

 sented, and the judiciously chosen bibliographies at the end of 

 each volume will help their readers to pass on from these 

 capable treatises, which are something more than introductions, 

 to a fuller study of the several subjects," 



NATURE 



"The People's Books represent an independent and signi- 

 ficant venture, which we cordially hope will meet with success. 

 In this series we are provided with dainty volumes, written 

 by people whose lives have been devoted to the subjects which 

 they survey." 



PALL MALL GAZETTE 



" A series with a great and popular future." 



MEDICAL TIMES 



"We can imagine nothing better than these books for the 

 use of evening science classes or for private study . . . every 

 volume is well worth possessing." 



ACADEMY 



"The series bids fair to provide a liberal education at a 

 nominal cost to all who are fortunate enough to possess it." 



OBSERVER 

 " They seem to be taking the world for their parish."
