Abstract
THIS book was written more than a quarter of a century ago for the use of a class of natives of the diocese of Natal, who were learning to read English. Since then the greater part of it has been rewritten in order to adapt it to the necessities of European children. As far as possible the earlier lessons are written in words of one syllable, so that they are well fitted for the use of those for whom they are intended.
First Lessons in Science; designed for the use of Children.
By the Right Rev. J. W. Colenso (London: Ridgway, 1887.)
