Review.
GUIDE TO WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM.
This is not an ordinary catalogue or guide as is usually understood, but a
work worthy of the committee, and in particular of Mr. Bernard H.
Woodward, F.G.S., who has taken his own course, with the result that he
has supplied a most interesting work, giving in the main, and in order the
principal contents of a most interesting museum.
The book is an instructive one, well arranged on a scientific, though
simple basis, and should, undoubtedly be in the hands of the Public School
Teachers, for the information it contains cover a particularly wide area ;
the manner in which Mr. Woodward explains everything is so clear, lucid
and concise, that the book, in itself, is a most interesting study, and we
leave it, satisfied that Western Australia should be proud of the
production.
It is virtually a complete synopsis of science and art up to date, and
gives the result of years of deep study. The book costs one shilling only.
