 for Young' People 



Demy 8vo, fully illustrated, 2s. 6cl. net 



Nature: "Of the various books written for children in elementary 

 schools, The Study of Plant Life is quite the most logical 

 and intelligent that we have seen ". 



Manchester Guardian: "With great skill the knowledge gained 

 from simple experiments in the classroom or laboratory is 

 made effective. . . . Our old friend the cactus . . . and other 

 exotic wonders are happily relegated to very subordinate parts 

 in these bright and attractive pages." 



Athenaeum: "The author has attained simplicity of language — a 

 more difficult business than writers of textbooks imagine — and 

 as the book is printed in large, clear type, we can strongly 

 recommend it to teachers in schools ". 



Inquirer: "Is a delightful book, beautifully illustrated". 



Scotsman: "The book is a charming guide for the youthful 

 botanist or naturalist to the life history of plants, and it is 

 written with a due regard to the age of those for whom it 

 is intended". 



Knowledge: "An excellent book for young people desirous of 

 learning the why and wherefore of plant life". 



New Age: "We have seen nothing produced on this side of the 

 Atlantic so good of its kind ". 



New Pliytologist: "... may be unhesitatingly pronounced a 

 great success . . . written with a breadth and knowledge 

 he has not met before in an English elementary work".
