The Story of a Tinder - Box. By C. Meymott Tidy. (S.P.C.K.)—
This is a capital little book for young people, who will learn with the history of the tinder-box a little chemistry and physics, at least such chemistry as belongs to it and some other methods of obtaining light. It is simply and clearly expressed, so that none, after perusing it, will be able to plead ignorance of the nature and uses of a tinder-box.
