Book Description
Excerpt from The American Home Encyclopedia of Useful Knowledge It has been a great pleasure to me to look over very care fully the pages of this deeply interesting volume. It is a book more fascinating than the Arabian Nights Entertainment. The wonderful inventions, the marvelous discoveries which make the nineteenth and twentieth centuries peerless in all the ages, are here strikingly and accurately presented. No field of modern research has been neglected, and no arena of activity overlooked by the Author in gathering facts for this unique and comprehensive volume. The questions which are continually arising as new and startling revelations are being constantly made in the world of nature and the realm of science are luminously answered. Their application to prac tical life is clearly set forth. The reader or student will find himself therefore abreast of the times in the possession of the widely diversified knowledge this cyclopedia unfolds. The useful and the beautiful are happily combined in the subjects presented, for the illustrations are superior works of art and vividly portray to the eye the meaning of the text. The Index and Review Questions add special interest to the book and make it valuable both for the purpose of study and recreation.
