Abstract
THIS is an English edition of a little book which made M. Paul Bert's name familiar to a vast number of persons in France who knew nothing of his eminence either in science or in politics. As the title indicates, it is intended for children beginning to study science, and we know of no book better adapted for this purpose. It is a book of great merit both in style and selection of subjects. The more experimental sciences are treated as their nature demands—practically; the experiments are simple, and few will find any difficulty in performing them.
