sources, and excellently illustrated._"
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.--"_A very charming book; one of the
best popular wonder-books for young people that we have seen. In
language of singular simplicity, and with a very profuse use of
very effective woodcuts, the distinctive features of far-off
lands--their natural history, the manners and customs of their
inhabitants, their physical phenomena, &c.--are brought home to
the fireside in a way to entrance alike the children of five or
six years old, and the older folk who instruct them. No better
book has appeared this season._"
