Popular passages

Page xii - The annual interest only to be expended in the purchase of books for the Library.‎

Page xix - Readings is the easy conversational style in which the lessons are presented. They are constructed for the conveyance of elementary scientific facts in the most simple manner, as many technicalities as possible being studiously avoided.‎
