[pilcrow] No pains has been spared to interest boys and girls, to impart useful information, and to provide valuable lessons of patriotism, truthfulness, courage, patience, honesty, and industry, which will make them good men and women. Many incidents and anecdotes, not included in larger works, are interspersed among the stories, because they are so frequently used in art and literature that familiarity with them is indispensable. The illustrations are unusually good.

They are intensely absorbing, being written by the author on the spots described, and presenting accurate pen-pictures of places and peoples. The style is simple and easy, and throughout each volume there runs a strong personal note which makes the reader feel that he is actually seeing everything with his own eyes. [pilcrow] The books give a good idea of the various peoples, their strange customs and ways of living, and to some extent of their economic conditions. At the same time, there are included graphic descriptions of the curious animals, rare birds, wonderful physical features, natural resources, and great industries of each country. The illustrations for the most part are reproductions of photographs taken by the author. The maps show the route taken over each continent. [pilcrow] The Readers on Commerce and Industry take up the three great essentials of human existence, food, clothing, and shelter. The children visit the great food centers and see for themselves how the chief food staples are produced and prepared for use, they travel over the globe investigating the sources of their clothing, and they learn how the different races are housed, and of what their dwellings are composed. The journeys are along geographical lines.
