Abstract
THE aim of the anonymous author of these volumes appears to have been first of all to secure the interested attention of his young readers, and then incidentally to teach them a great deal about the physical features of the countries of the world and of the manners and customs of the peoples of the globe. The readers are skilfully graded, well illustrated with maps and pictures, and excellently printed. The books are likely to be popular in elementary schools.
