NOTICES OF THE FIRST BOOK.

"We commend this work as carrying out the new and engaging method of teaching Geography; it has also the special merit of being carefully adapted to the purposes of class teaching. We have no doubt that books of this description are rapidly taking the place of works on Geography too long in use in our Schools. Mr Rhind states his conviction, that pupils of ten years of age are capable of appreciating the subjects so admirably arranged in this little book; if so, Schoolmasters and Parents are negligent who withhold these improvements in school literature from their children. We include parents in this censure, because we know how often the teacher has to contend with obstacles from that quarter in the introduction of new books."-Educational Times.

"Mr Rhind has furnished an excellent book, which will not fail to command the patronage of the better class of Schools. In this much-condensed production, there is a large amount of very important matter, and we can, with great confidence, recommend it as admirably adapted to promote its object."Christian Witness.
