Abstract
MR. DRUMMOND, who is already well known as the author of a useful primer on the nature and nurture of the young child, has written a more ambitious book, which “aims at supplying a fairly comprehensive introduction to child-study.” His work, therefore, necessarily covers a wide field, ranging from facts of growth, defects of the special senses, and school hygiene, by way of the instincts, habits and interests of children, to their forms of expression and their moral and religious characteristics. On all these he writes interesting chapters prefaced by sections dealing with methods of investigation and other introductory topics.
