It is the Kinematograph of Knowledge. It has 100,000 pictures in Alphabetical order. A child can find them. Every day you need a picture of some new thing. It is here in this new book—the Tower Bridge, a Scotch pine; George Stephenson’s Rocket, Wilbur Wright’s first plane; the plan of a tennis court; an ichthyosaurus; portraits of Primates, Popes and Cæsars; a barge, a bangle, or an ear of barley; Chartres Cathedral; Shakespeare and Milton; a leopard or a humming bird; a bee-hive or a basilisk; John Bunyan’s cottage, Alfred’s Jewel; a coin, a flag, or a carburetter.
