" Her methods of presenting certain facts and phenomena difficult to grasp are most 
original and striking, and admirably calculated to enable the reader to realise the 
truth. As to the interest of her story, we have tested it in a youthful subject, and she 
mentioned it in the same breath with 'Grimm's Fairy Tales.'. . . . The book 
abounds with beautifully engraved and thoroughly appropriate illustrations, and 
altogether is one of the most successful attempts we know of to combine the duke 
with the utile. ^Ve are sure any of the older children would welcome it as a Christ- 
mas present ; but it deserves to take a permanent place in the literature of youth."

" A book which people who are no longer young may take up with pleasure and 
read with profit, and which will be prized by every boy or girl who is fortunate enough 
to get it, and intelligent enough to master its teaching." Scotsman.

" Miss Buckley supplies in the present volume a gap in onr educational litera- 
ture. Guides to literature abound ; guides to science, similar in purpose and 
character to Miss Buckley's History, are unknown. The writer's plan, therefore, 
Mall Gazette. 
" It is an admirable book, written with a fulness and accuracy which is rarely 
to be found in compendiums of this sort. Any one who reads carefully to the end 
will have got a fair general notion of the vastness of physical science, and the means 
of pursuing more completely any special region of it which may be desired. It is an 
excellent book for young people, and one not to be despised by their elders."
