Dwellers in the Garden. By the Rev. Theodore Wood. (T.

C. and E. C. Jack. 6d.)—We think this series, couched in simpla language and describing the denizens of sundry localities—in this case the garden—an admirable sixpennyworth.

It is astonishing how much sound knowledge can be cezleyed in two-syllabled words. Before children become too much tyran- nised over by games such excellent guides as the `ii:cllers' Series will help to rouse a healthy love if Nature L.1.1 her children.
