Note.—The three parts of this book can behad in separate volumes by those who desire it. This will be advisable when thebook is to be used in teaching quite young children (from six to nine years ofage), especially in schools. It will take some time to go through with eachpart thoroughly, and the pupil had better, for various reasons, beintroduced to each in its order as a new book.
