 will make it so clear to the average English reader."

 New York Evening Post.

 taste in America than the wide circulation and careful 

 reading of this sound and sensible introduction." 



The Congregationalist.

 sense with a delightful avoidance of technical jargon."

 a happy kind of originality, the most genuine sort of help- 

 fulness, and rare power to stimulate." Boston Herald.
