Abstract
As a book for the instructors of small children, this volume should prove useful. As a book for the unaided juvenile, we fear that the “conventional phraseology” which the author deplores in ordinary text-books has not, even here, been sufficiently eliminated. It is, indeed, a very difficult matter to escape wholly from this evil when instructing juveniles, but, on the whole, the writer of the work under notice has succeeded admirably.
