Chapter XXIX (2)
"The volume would make an excellent present for an intelligent boy, being full of interesting and sometimes thrilling stories from the wide field of natural history. It is well written in a clear, easy style which is to be commended. Mr. Edmund Selous has made a most interesting collection of striking facts, and the book has one of the prettiest covers that I have seen."--_Daily News._
THE ROMANCE OF MODERN EXPLORATION
WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF CURIOUS CUSTOMS, THRILLING ADVENTURES, AND INTERESTING DISCOVERIES OF EXPLORERS IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD
BY ARCHIBALD WILLIAMS, B.A., F.R.G.S.
_With Twenty-six Illustrations_
"A mine of information and stirring incident."--_Scotsman._
"Mr. Williams is most catholic in his choice, taking his readers to soar in a balloon with the luckless Andree, to wander in African forests and Australian deserts, to seek for the North Pole with Nansen, and even to note such an up-to-date expedition as that of the 'Discovery' in the Antarctic Regions, to cite but the most prominent. Mr. Williams has done this work most judiciously, ... a book which will delight both young and old alike."--_Graphic._
"The book unites strong natural attractiveness with valuable geographical information to a degree probably unequalled by any other that might be offered as appropriate for the purpose of a gift book or the recreative library."--_School Government Chronicle._
"It is a kind of epitome of the best travel books of our time, and is exceedingly well done."--_Academy._

DESCRIBING THE HABITS, CUSTOMS, EVERYDAY LIFE, &c., OF PRIMITIVE MAN
BY PROF. G.F. SCOTT ELLIOT, M.A., B.Sc., &c.
_With Thirty Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo. 5s._
"Mr. Scott Elliot has hit upon a good idea in this attempt to set forth the life of the primitive savage. On the whole, too, he has carried it out well and faithfully.... We can recommend the book as filling a gap."--_Athenaeum._
"A readable contribution to the excellent series of which it forms a part. Mr. Scott Elliot writes pleasantly ... he possesses a sufficiently vivid imagination to grasp the relation of a savage to his environment."--_Nature._
"There are things of remarkable interest in this volume, and it makes excellent reading and represents much research."--_Spectator._
THE ROMANCE OF PLANT LIFE
DESCRIBING THE CURIOUS AND INTERESTING IN THE PLANT WORLD
BY PROF. G.F. SCOTT ELLIOT, M.A., B.Sc., &c.
_With Thirty-four Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo. 5s._
"The author has worked skilfully into his book details of the facts and inferences which form the groundwork of modern Botany. The illustrations are striking, and cover a wide field of interest, and the style is lively."--_Athenaeum._
"In twenty-nine fascinating, wall-printed, and well-illustrated chapters, Prof. Scott Elliot describes a few of the wonders of plant life. A very charming and interesting volume,"--_Daily Telegraph._
"Mr. Scott Elliot is of course a well-known authority on all that concerns plants, and the number of facts he has brought together will not only surprise but fascinate all his readers."--_Westminster Gazette._
SEELEY & CO., LTD., 38 GREAT RUSSELL STREET
THE ROMANCE OF INSECT LIFE
DESCRIBING THE CURIOUS & INTERESTING IN THE INSECT WORLD
BY EDMUND SELOUS
AUTHOR OF "THE ROMANCE OF THE ANIMAL WORLD," ETC.
_With Sixteen Illustrations. Extra Crown 8vo. 5s._
"An entertaining volume, one more of a series which seeks with much success to describe the wonders of nature and science in simple, attractive form."--_Graphic._
"Offers most interesting descriptions of the strange and curious inhabitants of the insect world, sure to excite inquiry and to foster observation. There are ants white and yellow, locusts and cicadas, bees and butterflies, spiders and beetles, scorpions and cockroaches--and especially ants--with a really scientific investigation of their wonderful habits not in dry detail, but in free and charming exposition and narrative. An admirable book to put in the hands of a boy or girl with a turn for natural science--and whether or not."--_Educational Times._
"Both interesting and instructive. Such a work as this is genuinely educative. There are numerous illustrations."--_Liverpool Courier._
"With beautiful original drawings by Carton Moore Park and Lancelot Speed, and effectively bound in dark blue cloth, blazoned with scarlet and gold."--_Lady._
"Admirably written and handsomely produced. Mr. Selous's volume shows careful research, and the illustrations of insects and the results of their powers are well done."--_World._
THE ROMANCE OF MODERN MECHANISM
INTERESTING DESCRIPTIONS IN NON-TECHNICAL LANGUAGE OF WONDERFUL MACHINERY, MECHANICAL DEVICES, & MARVELLOUSLY DELICATE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
BY ARCHIBALD WILLIAMS, B.A., F.R.G.S.
AUTHOR OF "THE ROMANCE OF MODERN EXPLORATION," ETC.
_With Twenty-six Illustrations, Extra Crown 8vo. 5s._
"No boy will be able to resist the delights of this book, full to the brim of instructive and wonderful matter."--_British Weekly._
"This book has kept your reviewer awake when he reasonably expected to be otherwise engaged. We do not remember coming across a more fascinating volume, even to a somewhat blase reader whose business it is to read all that comes in his way. The marvels, miracles they should be called, of the modern workshop are here exploited by Mr. Williams for the benefit of readers who have not the opportunity of seeing these wonders or the necessary mathematical knowledge to understand a scientific treatise on their working. Only the simplest language is used and every effort is made, by illustration or by analogy, to make sufficiently clear to the non-scientific reader how the particular bit of machinery works and what its work really is. Delicate instruments, calculating machines, workshop machinery, portable tools, the pedrail, motors ashore and afloat, fire engines, automatic machines, sculpturing machines--these are a few of the chapters which crowd this splendid volume."--_Educational News._
"It is difficult to make descriptions of machinery and mechanism interesting, but Mr. Williams has the enviable knack of doing so, and it is hardly possible to open this book at any page without turning up something which you feel you must read; and then you cannot stop till you come to the end of the chapter."--_Electricity._
"This book is full of interest and instruction, and is a welcome addition to Messrs. Seeley and Company's Romance Series."--_Leeds Mercury._
"A book of absorbing interest for the boy with a mechanical turn, and indeed for the general reader."--_Educational Times._
"An instructive and well-written volume."--_Hobbies._
