Abstract
MR. GIBSON has attempted with considerable success the solution of the old problem—how to interest children and at the same time instruct them. In the first volume he tells the story of the earth, and invites his readers to accompany him on imaginary visits to our planet before man's appearance on it. The fact that at one place a jelly-fish tells the story of what happened in the sea, and at another a worm records its experiences underground, will indicate the style of treatment adopted.
