“What a treasure in a country house must not such an Encyclopaedia of amusing knowledge afford, when the series has grown to a few volumes. Not only an Encyclopaedia of amusing and useful knowledge, but that which will give to memory a chronological chart of our acquisition of information. This admirable idea is well followed out in the little volume in our hands. The notiore are all clear, full, and satisfactory, and the engravings with which the volume is embellished are every way worthy of the literary part of the work.”—Standard.
