But as children differ so greatly in capacity, it should be +understood that in this respect the arrangement is only approximate. +The endeavor has been made to choose those fairy tales which are most +free from horrible happenings, and to omit all writings which tolerate +unkindness to animals. Humorous books are designated by a star and the +few sad ones by a circle.</p> + +<p>The prices given are the same as those in the publishers' catalogues; +booksellers' prices are often less.</p> + +<p>My thanks are extended to those publishers who have time and again +courteously provided the facilities for the examination of their +publications.</p> + +<p>Miss Annie Carroll Moore, of the New York Public Library, was kind +enough to read for me the notes and comments. I wish most gratefully +to acknowledge the generous assistance given me by Miss Hewins, of +the Hartford Public Library, Miss Hunt, of the Brooklyn Public +Library, and Miss Jordan, of the Boston Public Library, who examined +the List, and suggested some changes and a few additions. Their +approbation is elsewhere expressed.</p> + + <p class="quotedr0"><span class="smcap">Gertrude Weld Arnold.</span><br> +<span class="smcap">Nutley, New Jersey.</span></p> + + + +<a id="pagexi" name="pagexi"></a> +<h2><i>A Mother's List</i> <span class="pagenum">(p. xi)</span></h2> + + +<p>It is said, in that earliest collection of English proverbs which was +made by John Heywood, more than three hundred years ago, that +"Children must learn to creep before they can go." This little book +for which I am asked to write a brief preface is, so far as I can find +out, the first consistent effort yet made towards teaching children to +read on John Heywood's principle. It is safe to say that it is +destined to carry light and joy into multitudes of households. It is +based upon methods such as I vaguely sighed after, nearly fifty years +ago, when I was writing in the <i>North American Review</i> for January, +1866, a paper entitled Children's Books of the Year. The essay was +written by request of Professor Charles Eliot Norton, then the editor +of that periodical, and I can now see how immensely I should have been +relieved by a book just like this Mother's List, a device such as +nobody in that day had the wisdom and faithful industry to put +together.</p> + +<p>In glancing over the books discussed in that early paper of mine, it +is curious to see how the very titles of some of the most prominent +have now disappeared from sight. Where are the Little Prudy books +which once headed the list? Where are the stories of Oliver Optic? +Where is Jacob Abbott's John Gay; or Work for Boys? Even Paul and +Virginia have vanished, taking with them the philosophic Rasselas and +even the pretty story of Undine. Nothing of that list of thirty titles +is now well remembered except Cooper's Leatherstocking and Jane +Andrews's Seven Little Sisters Who Live on the Round Ball That Floats +in the Air, a book which has been translated into the languages of +remote nations of the globe, I myself having seen the Chinese and +Japanese versions. Thus irregular is the award of time and we must +accept it. Meanwhile this new book is organized on a better plan than +any dreamed of at that former period, the books being arranged not +merely by classes alone, but according to the age of the proposed +readers and stretching in regular order from two years old until +fourteen. The whole number of books being very large, there is no +overdue limitation, and this forms the simple but magical method of +reaching every variety of childish mind.</p> + +<p>Thus excellent have been the changes: yet it is curious to observe on +closer study that the two classes of books which represent the two +extremes among the childish readers--Mother Hubbard and +Shakespeare--may still be said to be the opposite poles between which +the whole world of juvenile literature hangs suspended. A child needs +to be supplied with a proper diet of fancy as well as of fact; and of +fact as well as fancy. He is usually so constituted that if he were to +find a fairy every morning in his bread and milk at breakfast, it +would not very much surprise him; while yet his appetite for the +substantial food remains the same. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland +seem nowhere very strange to him, while Chaucer and Spenser need only +to be simply told, while Dana's Two Years Before the Mast and Hughes's +Tom Brown's School Days at Rugby hold their own as well as Jack and +the Bean-Stalk. Grown up people have their prejudices, but children +have few or none. A pound of feathers and a pound of lead will usually +be found to weigh the same in their scales. Nay, we, their +grandparents, know by experience that there may be early cadences in +their ears which may last all their lives. For instance, Caroline +Fry's Listener would now scarcely find a reader in any group of +children, yet there is one passage in the book--one which forms the +close of some beggar's story about "Never more beholding Margaret +Somebody and her sunburnt child"--which would probably bring tears to +the present writer's eyes today, although he has not seen the book +since he was ten years of age.</p> + +<p>It may be that every mature reader will miss from the list some book +or books of that precious childish literature which once throve and +flourished behind school desks. They were books founded partly on +famous history, as that of Baron Trenck and his escapes from prison, +Rinaldo Rinaldini, and The Three Spaniards. I am told that children do +not now find them in a pedlar's pack as we once found them, +accompanied by buns and peddled like them at recess time. Even if we +should find them both in such a place, they might have no such flavor +for us now. It is something if the flowers of American gossip are +retained in similar stories, even if their atmosphere is retreating +from all the hills. It is enough to know that we have for all our +children the works of Louisa Alcott and Susan Coolidge; that they +have Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy and Mrs. Dodge's Hans Brinker and +Miss Hale's Peterkin Papers and The William Henry Letters by Mrs. +Diaz. We need not complain so long as our children can look +inexhaustively across the ocean for Andrew Lang's latest fairy-book +and Grimm's Household Stories as introduced to a new immortality by +John Ruskin.</p> + + <p class="quotedr0"><span class="smcap">Thomas Wentworth Higginson.</span><br> +<span class="smcap">Cambridge, Mass.</span>, <i>January 4, 1909</i>.</p> + + + +<a id="pagexvii" name="pagexvii"></a> +<h2><i>Appreciations</i> <span class="pagenum">(p. xvii)</span></h2> + + +<p>I think your selections very carefully made and well adapted to +children who have books at home and mothers who read them....

The accession of James +made Scottish subjects popular in England, and the tale of Macbeth and +Banquo would be one of the first to be brought forward, as Banquo was +held to be an ancestor of the new king. Shakespeare drew the materials +for the plot of Macbeth from Holinshed's Chronicles of Englande, +Scotlande, and Ireland.... The story of the drama is almost wholly +apocryphal.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + |
