DAILY CHRONICLE 



" One volume, an anthology of verse, is entitled Pure Goh 

 This surely would be a not improper name for the whole series. 



SUNDAY TIMES 



"Here are volumes which throw open ail the treasures o 

 science, philosophy, history, and literature, as they are knowi 

 to scholars of the present generation, books which are planne- 

 to cover the whole range of knowledge, and summarise som 

 particular branch in an easy and simple style that is sure t 

 urge the reader to closer study of the subject. Was I not righ 

 in declaring that education is within everyone's reach to-day 

 With the ' People's Books ' in hand there should be nobod 

 of average intelligence unable to secure self-education. Hi 

 library this library should be his all-sufficing university." 



THE STAR (JOHANNESBURG) 



" Probably this bold undertaking by Messrs. Jack is the firs 

 attempt to throw open all the treasures of science, philosophy 

 history, and literature known to scholars of the present genera 

 tion. We have selected the series for special mention in ou 

 leading rather than in our review columns, because we are con 

 vinced that it is precisely what is wanted in South Africa anc 

 other British Colonies, whose peoples are profoundly interested 

 in the new knowledge, but whose chances of obtaining accuratt 

 information on the subject are few and far between," 



THE EXPOSITORY TIMES 



"The most amazing of all the issues of cheap books whicl 

 have astonished our day and generation." 





NOTES AND QUERIES 



" They are not only well * up-to-date/ and the work of com- 

 petent authors, but are clearly printed on sufficiently gooc 

 paper and quite prettily bound." 



MR. WILL CROOKS, M.P. 



"The simple, homely language in dealing with a scientific 

 subject is such a rarity that at first sight one took to reading 



without effort."
