The PALL MALL GAZETTE says:
"The choice of subjects is admirable; there is not an ugly drawing in
the book. Parents and teachers who have been looking in vain for
drawing-books that should really train the eye in the study of
beautiful forms, as well as the hand in the representation of what the
eye sees, will be very grateful to the Science and Art Department for
these cheap and most satisfactory productions."
