PRESS AND OTHER OPINIONS 



One of H.M. INSPECTORS of Schools writes : 



" It is quite one of the best books of the kind, if not the best, I have 

 encountered, and should be of the utmost value to the rising generation. " 



An OFFICIAL at the Educational Department writes : 



" I think your book is quite admirable. It reads delightfully ; there is more 

 real 'science attitude of mind' in it, with all its simple language, than in any 

 readers I have before seen, and the pictures are simply splendid. It is infinitely 

 worth all the labour and thought that you have lavished on it, and I heartily 

 congratulate you on getting it out." 



A TOWN SCHOOLMASTER writes : 



"I beg to congratulate you most heartily on your little book, A Country 

 Reader. Although not a rural teacher, but the head master of a very large 

 mixed school in a manufacturing district, the subject and matter appeal none 

 the less both to myself and the children. What a delight it is to come across 

 a reader with such a breadth of treatment teaching the greatest of all lessons 

 on every page, Observe, Observe, Observe. Wishing the book every success.

MESSRS. BENNION, HORN & CO., Booksellers, of Market Drayton. 

 write : 



(Messrs. Bennion are Proprietors of several country papers with circulation 

 in the Agricultural Districts, and their trade is almost exclusively with people 

 connected more or less with the Land. Their opinion, therefore, as to the 

 requirements of the Agricultural population, is of value.) 



"I enclose a schoolmaster's letter re your book, whom I lent it to. I trust 

 the sale will be as satisfactory as my opinion of the book the most useful I 

 have ever seen to place in the hands of country and town children." 



A COUNTRY SCHOOLMASTER'S letter above referred to : 



"Thanks for loan of book called A Country Reader. I have much enjoyed 

 reading it. Please tell Mr. Buchanan that I consider it an exceedingly useful 

 publication for schools, for it ought to arouse the interest of the children, and 

 cause them to take a more intelligent pleasure in their surroundings. I should 

 be glad to know about its price to schools." 



MR. W. GODWIN writes: 



(Mr. Godwin judges live stock at many Agricultural Shows. His opinion 

 therefore, from the technical point of view, is of value. ) 



"Permit me to offer my congratulations upon your interesting little book, 

 A Country Reader. Pardon me for saying, it is almost too practical for an 

 estate landowner, and might well have been written by a farmer well acquainted 

 with the live stock it delineates. It should greatly benefit the young of both 

 sexes connected with country life."
