A FEW INTERESTING DETAILS CONCERNING THE WIDE ADVANTAGES.-The size of these Readers makes it possible to include a much larger number of coloured pictures than can be put into an ordinary 8vo book.

Every practical teacher knows the value of pictures in the Geography Lesson, as a mears of conveying clearer intelligence and deeper interest; and in the vast number of schools over the United Kingdom now using these justly-famous Readers, these results have been verified over and over again. MAPS.-Here again the size of the book offers a most material advantage, as it makes possible the introduction of Full sized Maps to the Summaries. Every Wide World Reader carries its own Atlas.
