inadequacy of any description apart from actual handling of the
volumes."--_Daily Chronicle._

kind."--_Daily News._
"The 'Cyclopædia of Names' deserves to rank with important works of
reference, for though its facts on any given subject are, of course,
elementary, they can be quickly found, and, on the whole, they are
admirably chosen."--_Standard._
"A most handsome and solid volume.... It will be found exceedingly
useful.... It is beautifully printed."--_Daily Chronicle._
"A most valuable compilation, and one which will be valued for the
great mass of information which it contains."--_Glasgow Herald._
"Every library of reference, no matter how richly stocked, will be the
richer for having it ... may be consulted freely without the
inconveniences of human haulage."--_Scotsman._
