=Nature:= "This is, strictly speaking, an elementary manual of geology.
The general plan of the work is good; the book is well printed and
illustrated with maps, photographic pictures of rock structure and
scenery, and figures of fossils and rock sections."
=Saturday Review:= "His style is animated and inspiring, or clear and
precise, as occasion demands. The people of Sydney are to be
congratulated on the existence of such a guide to their beautiful
country."
=Literary World:= "We can heartily recommend the book as a very
interesting one, written in a much more readable style than is usual in
works of this kind."
=South Australian Register:= "Mr. Curran has extracted a charming
narrative of the earth's history out of the prosaic stone. Though he has
selected Sydney rocks for his text, his discourse is interestingly
Australian."

With Introductory Notes on the nature of Decimals, and

Decimals. Crown 8vo, 6d. (_post free 7d._).
=N.S.W. Educational Gazette:= "A masterly and elaborate treatise for the
use of schools on a subject of world-wide interest and importance.... In
commercial life a knowledge of the metric system has been for some years
essential, and it is, therefore, fitting that its underlying principles
should be taught in our schools concurrently with reduction, and
practised systematically in the more advanced grades. For this purpose
the book is unquestionably the best we have seen."
