"We have endeavoured to show man at work, feeding, clothing, and housing himself. We have tried to indicate the difficulties he has had to overcome, and how he has harnessed the powers of Nature to assist him. It has not been possible to do more than present an outline plan, something which might suggest to the boys and girls for whom we write that here were paths worth exploring by themselves, or occupations in which they could find pleasure."
C. H. B. Quennell Knihy
