+_PREFACE_ (p. ix)
+
+
+This little book, a revision of one privately printed a few years ago,
+has been prepared for home use, and for this reason the classification
+has been made according to the age, and not the school grade, of the
+child. 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.
+
+The prices given are the same as those in the publishers' catalogues;
+booksellers' prices are often less.
+
+My thanks are extended to those publishers who have time and again
+courteously provided the facilities for the examination of their
+publications.
+
+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 (p. x)
+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.

+
+
+_A MOTHER'S LIST_ (p. xi)
+
+
+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 _North American Review_ 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.
+
+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 (p. xii)
+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.
+
+Thus excellent have been the changes: yet it is curious to (p. xiii)
+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 (p. xiv)
+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.
+
+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 (p. xv)
+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.

+_APPRECIATIONS_ (p. xvii)
+
+
+I think your selections very carefully made and well adapted to
+children who have books at home and mothers who read them.... With
+many congratulations on the excellence of your book, both in form and
+substance, believe me yours sincerely,
+ CAROLINE M. HEWINS.
+_Hartford Public Library._
+
+
+You do not owe me any thanks for my little assistance, for you have
+given me quite as much as I have given you. It is more stimulating
+than you can believe to discuss the subject with one whose point of
+view is not that of the librarian. You must not call yourself an
+amateur, however, for you are an expert on children's books. I have
+gained a great many ideas from you, and have enjoyed comparing notes
+with you immensely.
+ Sincerely yours,
+ CLARA W. HUNT.
+_Brooklyn Public Library._
+
+
+I am sending back your book with my notes and suggestions. It is (p. xviii)
+an uncommonly good list, however, and there is little that I have wished
+to add or to take away.... Your list is so good that I know you must
+have spent a great deal of time and very definite thought over it. You
+have certainly covered the ground thoroughly.... I have enjoyed seeing
+your list and shall be greatly interested in seeing it in final form.
+
+ Sincerely yours,
+ ALICE M. JORDAN.

+PICTURE-BOOKS
+
+ The baby's first book will naturally be a picture-book, for
+ pictures appeal to him early, and with great force.... If we
+ understood children better, we should realize this vitality which
+ pictures have for them, and should be more careful to give them
+ the best.
+ W.T. FIELD.
+
+
+THE CHILDREN'S FARM.
+ Dutton. 1.25
+
+These colored pictures of the different farm animals, mounted on
+boards, will please the littlest ones.
+
+
+CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator).
+ Mother Hubbard. Lane. .25
+
+As children are favorably influenced by good pictures, it is a pity to
+give them any but the best, among which Walter Crane's certainly
+stand. Attention is drawn to the designs of the cover-pages of the (p. 22)
+books of this series, which are quite as attractive as the text
+illustrations.
+
+The drawings for Mother Hubbard are among Mr. Crane's most successful
+efforts. Tiny folk will be entranced with the pictures of this
+marvellous white doggie.
+
+ "This wonderful Dog
+ Was Dame Hubbard's delight,
+ He could sing, he could dance,
+ He could read, he could write."
+
+
+CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator).
+ This Little Pig.
+ Lane. .25
+
+Let us travel to Piggy-land for a few moments, with the baby, and it
+will probably be the first of many trips, with these gay pictures to
+guide us.
+
+
+
+
+_THREE YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 23)
+
+ _A dreary place would be this earth,
+ Were there no little people in it;

+ Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
+ Were there no babies to begin it._

+PICTURE-BOOKS
+
+ What an unprejudiced and wholly spontaneous acclaim awaits the
+ artist who gives his best to the little ones! They do not place
+ his work in portfolios or locked glass cases; they thumb it to
+ death, surely the happiest of all fates for any printed book.
+ GLEESON WHITE.
+
+
+BANNERMAN, HELEN.
+ *The Story of Little Black Sambo.
+ Stokes. .50
+
+Written and illustrated by an Englishwoman in India for her two small
+daughters, Little Black Sambo, with its absurd story, and funny crude
+pictures in color, will delight young children of all lands.
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator).
+ The Farmer's Boy.
+ Warne. .25
+
+These delicately colored prints, with their atmosphere of English
+country life, well accord with the old cumulative verses which they
+accompany. Mr. Caldecott has charmingly illustrated this and the (p. 24)
+following picture-books. Some of the illustrations in each book are in
+color and some in black and white.
+
+ The Caldecott toy-books,
+ They fix for all time
+ The favorite heroes
+ Of nursery rhyme.
+
+ The Caldecott toy-books--
+ We never shall find
+ A gracefuller pencil,
+ A merrier mind!
+ L.
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator).
+ A Frog He Would a-Wooing Go.
+ Warne. .25
+
+The drawings portray Mr. Frog, Mr. Rat, and the tragic ending to the
+festivities at Mousey's Hall.
+
+ Caldecott was a fine literary artist, who was able to express
+ himself with rare facility in pictures in place of words, so that
+ his comments upon a simple text reveal endless subtleties of
+ thought.... You have but to turn to any of his toy-books to see
+ that at times each word, almost each syllable, inspired its own
+ picture.... He studied his subject as no one else ever studied
+ it.... Then he portrayed it simply and with inimitable vigor,
+ with a fine economy of line and colour; when colour is added, it
+ is mainly as a gay convention, and not closely imitative of
+ nature.
+ GLEESON WHITE.
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). (p. 25)
+ Hey Diddle Diddle, and Baby Bunting.
+ Warne. .25
+
+The pictures to Hey Diddle Diddle are instinct with joyousness. Baby
+Bunting's father was a jovial huntsman of the old English type.
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator).
+ The House that Jack Built.
+ Warne. .25
+
+Children will be greatly amused by the funny Rat.
+
+ "That ate the Malt,
+ That lay in the House
+ that Jack built."
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator).
+ The Milkmaid.
+ Warne. .25
+
+We are glad when the young squire, whose interest in the destination
+of the pretty maid the old song recounts, meets his proper deserts
+through the clever pencil of Mr. Caldecott.
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator).
+ The Queen of Hearts.
+ Warne. .25
+
+These pictures suggest in color and design those found on playing
+cards, and they are very good indeed.
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). (p. 26)
+ Ride a-Cock Horse to Banbury Cross, and
+ A Farmer Went Trotting upon His Grey Mare.
+ Warne. .25
+
+Wouldn't we all like to ride these sturdy nags through the lovely
+English country, even if we weren't to have the extra attraction of
+seeing a fine lady on a white horse?
+
+Children will love to read of the stout farmer and his pretty
+daughter, who went trotting to market,
+
+ "Bumpety, bumpety, bump!"
+
+
+CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator).
+ Sing a Song for Sixpence.
+ Warne. .25
+
+The little boy and girl king and queen are fascinating to real little
+boys and girls, and it is pleasant to be sure from the pictures that
+they liked the same things that children like to-day.
+
+
+CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator).
+ The Baby's Opera.
+ Warne. 1.50
+
+ A Book of Old Rhymes with New Dresses by Walter Crane. The Music
+ by the Earliest Masters.--_Title-page._
+
+This collection of English rhymes contains The Mulberry Bush, King
+Arthur, Jack and Jill, and many others equally familiar, with the
+accompanying music for each.
+
+
+CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). (p. 27)
+ The Fairy Ship.
+ Lane. .25
+
+One of Mr. Crane's best. The duck captain and mouse sailors are
+utterly captivating.
+
+ "There were fifty little sailors
+ Skipping o'er the decks;
+ They were fifty little white mice,
+ With rings around their necks."
+
+
+
+
+_FOUR YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 28)
+
+ _He that neer learns his A B C,
+ For ever will a blockhead be;
+ But he that learns these letters fair,
+ Shall have a Coach to take the Air._
+ THE ROYAL BATTLEDORE.
+ _Newbery. Circa_ 1744.
+
+
+
+PICTURE-BOOKS
+
+ Summer fading, winter comes--
+ Frosty mornings, tingling thumbs,
+ Window robins, winter rooks,
+ And the picture story-books.
+ . . . . . . . .
+ All the pretty things put by,
+ Wait upon the children's eye,
+ Sheep and shepherds, trees and crooks,
+ In the picture story-books.
+ STEVENSON.
+
+
+CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator).
+ The Baby's Own Alphabet.
+ Lane. .25
+
+The A B C, accompanied by old English rhymes. There are three or four
+illustrations to a page.
+
+
+FRANCIS, J.G.
+ *A Book of Cheerful Cats and Other Animated Animals.
+ Century. 1.00
+
+Funny verses and even funnier animal pictures. A delightful book for
+old and young, because of the ability shown in the illustrations.
+
+
+
+POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIES ADAPTED FROM
+GREAT AUTHORS (p. 29)
+
+ The mother sits and sings her baby to sleep; here is one of the
+ very best opportunities for the right literature at the right
+ time.
+ Mrs. H.L. ELMENDORF.
+
+
+LANG, ANDREW (Editor).
+ The Nursery Rhyme Book.
+ Illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke.
+ Warne. 1.50
+
+An exceptional collection of the ancient rhymes, songs, charms, and
+lullabies, accompanied by interesting pictures.
+
+ "In Mr. Halliwell's Collection, from which this volume is
+ abridged, no manuscript authority goes further back than the
+ reign of Henry VIII, though King Arthur and Robin Hood are
+ mentioned.... Thus our old nursery rhymes are smooth stones from
+ the book of time, worn round by constant friction of tongues long
+ silent."
+
+
+STEVENSON, R.L.
+ A Child's Garden of Verses.
+ Illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith.
+ Scribner. 2.50
+
+It is generally admitted that no one has comprehended and written from
+the child's point of view as did Stevenson. This volume should be
+among the first to be put into the hands of our little ones. (p. 30)
+Besides the black and white text illustrations there are twelve
+full-page pictures in color, all by Jessie Willcox Smith.
+
+
+STEVENSON, R.L.
+ A Child's Garden of Verses.
+ Illustrated by Charles Robinson.
+ Scribner. 1.50
+
+There are some who will prefer this small edition, beautifully
+illustrated in black and white.
+
+
+WELSH, CHARLES (Editor).
+ A Book of Nursery Rhymes.
+ Heath. .30
+
+Mr. Welsh has arranged this excellent collection of Mother Goose in
+accordance with the child's development, placing the rhymes in four
+divisions: Mother Play, Mother Stories, Child Play, and Child Stories.
+
+
+
+STORIES
+
+ To Master John the English maid
+ A hornbook gives, of gingerbread;
+ And that the child may learn the better,
+ As he can name, he eats each letter.
+ Proceeding thus with vast delight,
+ He spells and gnaws from left to right.
+ PRIOR. _1718._
+
+
+POTTER, BEATRIX.
+ The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
+ Illustrated by the Author.
+ Warne. .50
+
+The diverting history of four little rabbits: Flopsy, Mopsy,
+Cotton-tail, and naughty Peter who _would_ go into Mr. McGregor's (p. 31)
+garden, where he had many exciting adventures. The tiny volumes of
+this series, with their fascinating colored illustrations, are very
+delightful.
+
+
+SMITH, GERTRUDE.
+ The Arabella and Araminta Stories.
+ Illustrated by Ethel Reed.
+ Small. 1.00
+
+Simple every-day happenings in the lives of little twin sisters,
+related with much of the repetition so pleasing to very young
+children. There are plenty of pictures.
+
+
+SMITH, GERTRUDE.
+ The Roggie and Reggie Stories.
+ Illustrated by M.H. Squire and E. Mars.
+ Harper. 1.50
+
+This companion to The Arabella and Araminta Stories tells in the same
+pleasant reiterative style of the doings of the little girls' little
+twin brothers. The illustrations are in color.
+
+
+
+
+_FIVE YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 32)
+
+ _How am I to sing your praise,
+ Happy chimney-corner days,
+ Sitting safe in nursery nooks,
+ Reading picture story-books?_
+ STEVENSON.
+
+
+
+GEOGRAPHY, TRAVEL, AND DESCRIPTION
+
+ When the ice lets go the river,
+ When the wild-geese come again,
+ When the sugar-maple swells,
+ When the maple swells its buds,
+ Then the little blue birds come,
+ Then my little Blue Bird came.
+ _Indian lullaby from_
+ THE CHILDHOOD OF JI-SHIB THE OJIBWA.
+
+
+DEMING, T.O.
+ Indian Child-Life.
+ Illustrated by E.W. Deming.
+ Stokes. 2.00
+
+Pleasant sketches of the children of different tribes, with many
+full-page color plates after paintings in water-color, and black and
+white illustrations. The big oblong pictures, with their primitive
+Indian coloring, are unusually attractive.
+
+
+
+MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES (p. 33)
+
+ Jack, commonly called the giant-killer, and Thomas Thumb landed
+ in England from the very same keels and war-ships which conveyed
+ Hengist and Horsa, and Ebba the Saxon.
+ SCOTT.
+
+
+BROOKE, L.L. (Illustrator).
+ The Golden Goose Book.
+ Warne. 2.00
+
+Mr. Brooke has appropriately illustrated these old favorites: The
+Golden Goose, The Story of the Three Bears, The Story of the Three
+Little Pigs, and Tom Thumb. Of the four, the most popular is the tale
+of the adventures of little Tom, the favorite dwarf of the Court of
+King Arthur.
+
+ "Long time he lived in jollity,
+ Beloved of the Court,
+ And none like Tom was so esteemed
+ Amongst the better sort."
+
+
+LA FONTAINE, JEAN DE.
+ Select Fables from La Fontaine.
+ Illustrated by L.M. Boutet de Monvel.
+ S.P.C.K.
+ Stechert. 1.80
+
+This edition is chosen because of Monsieur Boutet de Monvel's charming
+small illustrations in color. There are from two to eight pictures on
+each page, accompanying the text, which is in verse. (p. 34)
+
+ As color appeals to the child before he has much notion of form,
+ his first picture-book should be colored, and as his ideas of
+ form develop slowly, his first pictures should be in outline, and
+ unencumbered with detail. The French illustrator, Boutet de
+ Monvel, has given us the ideal pictures for young children.
+ W.T. FIELD.
+
+
+
+POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIES
+ADAPTED FROM GREAT AUTHORS
+
+ Blind Homer and the chief singer of Israel and skalds and bards
+ and minnesingers are all gone, tradition is almost a byword, but
+ mothers still live, and children need not wait until they have
+ conquered the crabbed types before they begin to love literature.
+ Mrs. H.L. ELMENDORF.
+
+
+ADELBORG, OTTILIA.
+ *Clean Peter and the Children of Grubbylea.
+ Longmans. 1.25
+
+This large oblong book contains simple verses accompanying delightful
+full-page pictures in delicate colors somewhat after the French
+manner. It tells how Clean Peter brought tidiness to a little town.
+
+ "The children out in Grubbylea
+ Are all as clean as clean can be.
+ And Peter's living there to-day,
+ The children begged him so to stay."
+
+
+BURGESS, GELETT. (p. 35)
+ *Goops and How To Be Them.
+ A Manual of Manners for Polite Infants.
+ Illustrated by the Author.
+ Stokes. 1.50
+
+If there ever was anyone who could cover little pills with a thick
+coating of sugar, it was Mr. Burgess when he wrote these clever verses
+and drew these ninety original and always funny pictures. Children
+delight in the Goops. It is almost worth while being one to have this
+volume of warning thrust into our hands.
+
+ "I never knew a Goop to help his mother,
+ I never knew a Goop to help his dad,
+ And they never do a thing for one another;
+ They are actually, absolutely bad!
+
+ "If you ask a Goop to go and post a letter,
+ Or to run upon an errand, _how_ they act!
+ But somehow I imagine you are better,
+ And you _try_ to go, and _cry_ to go, in fact!"
+
+
+BURGESS, GELETT.
+ *More Goops and How Not To Be Them.
+ A Manual of Manners for Impolite Infants.
+ Illustrated by the Author.
+ Stokes. 1.50
+
+A delightful companion volume of dreadful examples. With ninety-seven
+illustrations.
+
+ "You who are the oldest,
+ You who are the tallest,
+ Don't you think you ought to help
+ The youngest and the smallest?
+
+ "You who are the strongest, (p. 36)
+ You who are the quickest,
+ Don't you think you ought to help
+ The weakest and the sickest?
+
+ "Never mind the trouble,
+ Help them all you can;
+ Be a little woman!
+ Be a little man!"
+
+
+HEADLAND, I.T. (Translator).
+ Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes.
+ Revell. 1.00
+
+Mr. Headland, who is a professor in the Imperial University at Peking,
+tells us: "There is no language in the world, we venture to believe,
+which contains children's songs expressive of more keen and tender

+ under the palm-trees by the banks of the yellow Jumna--their (p. 42)

+ "I'm a pretty little thing,
+ Always coming with the Spring;
+ In the meadows green I'm found,
+ Peeping just above the ground,
+ And my stalk is covered flat
+ With a white and yellow hat."
+
+I prefer the little girls and boys ... that come as you call them, fair

+ Not an angel there to dress me!
+
+ Hadst Thou ever any toys,

+ADVENTURES OF REYNARD THE FOX.
+ Edited by W.T. Stead.
+ Review. .05
+
+There is no entirely satisfactory edition, for children, of this
+classic. The language of one edited by Jacobs seems to the compiler of
+this list somewhat unsuited to small people, and E.L. Smythe in her
+version substitutes an entirely different ending for that of the (p. 61)
+original. This very inexpensive little book has more than a hundred
+interesting small pictures, and children will love to read of bad
+Reynard, who is told about in diverting fashion.

+ Edited by Joseph Jacobs.
+ Illustrated by Richard Heighway.
+ Macmillan. 1.50
+
+ It is difficult to say what are and what are not the Fables of
+ AEsop.... In the struggle for existence among all these a certain
+ number stand out as being the most effective and the most

+
+First told in 1862 to the little Liddell girls. It was written out for
+Alice Liddell, was published, and the first copy given to her in 1865.
+
+The illustrations are those which appeared in the original issue. Many

+have succeeded in displacing those of John Tenniel.
+
+Extract from the diary of C.L. Dodgson: July 4, 1862.--I made an
+expedition _up_ the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we had
+tea on the bank there, and did not reach Christ Church till half-past
+eight.... On which occasion I told them the fairy tale of Alice's
+Adventures Underground, which I undertook to write out for Alice.
+
+ "Alice! a childish story take,
+ And with a gentle hand
+ Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
+ In Memory's mystic band,
+ Like pilgrim's withered wreath of flowers
+ Plucked in a far-off land."

+
+Those wishing to depart from John Tenniel's illustrations will find (p. 63)
+these pictures of Arthur Rackham very interesting. We are given
+delightful black and white work, though most of the full-page pictures
+are in color.
+
+ Enchanting Alice! Black-and-white
+ Has made your deeds perennial;
+ And naught save "Chaos and old Night"
+ Can part you now from Tenniel;
+ But still you are a Type, and based

+ And Types may be re-draped to taste
+ In cloth of gold or camlet.

+
+Though children can but dimly comprehend this charming allegory, they
+will recognize its truth. Pinocchio, the wayward and mischievous

+ So, in this matter of literature for the young, the influence of
+ the home teaching is enormous; all the school can do pales before
+ it. Let the mother add to the poet's rhyme the music of her soft
+ and beloved voice; let great fiction be read to the breathless
+ group of curly heads about the fire; and the wonders of science
+ be enrolled, the thrilling scenes and splendid personalities of
+ history displayed. Children thus inspired may be trusted to

+ They lived in the province of Hesse-Cassel, ... and it was from

+
+This original and charming story is in some parts rather over the

+ The Old, Old Fairy Tales.
+ Warne. 1.50
+
+ The tales contained in this volume have been the delight of many
+ generations of children, and can, in fact, claim a very distant
+ origin, though they were retold in their present form as late as
+ the age of Louis XIV. They are generally supposed to have come
+ from the East, for they are to be found in varied forms in all
+ the countries of Europe that sent forth Crusaders.... As children
+ always like stories to be retold in the same words as far as
+ possible, these tales have not been rewritten (except in two
+ cases); the original translations in their quaint simplicity have
+ been collected, and merely corrected so far as to meet the modern
+ ideas of the kind of tale to be given to children; the old ones
+ being occasionally a little coarse.--_Preface._
+
+Madame D'Aulnoy, Charles Perrault, and La Princess de Beaumont, are

+
+ The children of those days--our great-great-grandfathers--expected

+
+ The Boy Craftsman has been undertaken with a view of helping boys

+ portion has been devoted to suggestions for the carrying on of a
+ number of small business enterprises, and the second and third
+ parts to outdoor and indoor pastimes for all seasons of the

+The handling and care of tools, simple carpentry, printing,

+
+ One of the best of modern Americans, James Russell Lowell, who
+ was born on the same day of the month as Washington, February
+ twenty-second, wrote, shortly before his death, to a school-girl
+ whose class proposed noticing his own birthday: "Whatever else
+ you do on the twenty-second of February, recollect, first of all,
+ that on that day a really great man was born, and do not fail to
+ warm your hearts with the memory of his service, and to brace
+ your minds with the contemplation of his character. The rest of

+
+ The child is to put this volume, not at the lesson-book end of

+ suggests, and rightly. It is eminently readable, a success, (p. 96)
+ we should say, in what looks much easier than it is, telling a

+Besides descriptions of beautiful lakes and great mountains, this

+
+MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES
+
+ It would be hard to estimate the amount of gentleness and mercy
+ that has made its way among us through these slight channels.
+ Forbearance, courtesy, consideration for the poor and aged, kind
+ treatment of animals, the love of Nature, abhorrence of tyranny
+ and brute force--many such good things have been nourished in the
+ child's heart by this powerful aid. It has greatly helped to keep
+ us ever young, by preserving through our worldly ways one slender
+ track, not overgrown with weeds, where we may walk with children,
+ sharing their delights.

+
+Mrs. Lucas is well fitted for her office of translator, although there

+
+Mr. Baldwin's object, as he tells us, has been to pave the way to the

+ending where Homer begins.

+ Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights.
+ Illustrated by J.D. Batten.
+ Putnam. 2.50
+
+ In Europe they were not known till 1704, when a learned
+ Frenchman, Antoine Galland, who had travelled widely in the East,
+ put them skillfully, if not too accurately, into the language of
+ his own people.... Within a comparatively few years, an ancient
+ manuscript in the Louvre at Paris has been found to remove from
+ Galland the long-standing reproach that he introduced into his
+ Arabian Nights stories which really did not belong to the
+ collection, but were taken from other Eastern sources.... It will
+ not be easy to change the form of the names which, through
+ Galland's agency, have become classic words.--_Introduction to
+ Stories from the Arabian Nights._
+
+ The text of the present selection from the Arabian Nights is that
+ of Galland, 1821, slightly abridged and edited. The edition is
+ designed virginibus puerisque.
+ E. DIXON.
+
+Mr. Dixon presents these famous Oriental stories most acceptably, and
+Mr. Batten's remarkable illustrations are all that can be desired. His
+genii are genii indeed, and his fairy princesses creatures of grace
+and beauty.

+ *Uncle Remus; His Songs and His Sayings.
+ Illustrated by A.B. Frost.
+ Appleton. 2.00
+
+ I have endeavored to give to the whole a genuine flavor of the
+ old plantation. Each legend has its variants, but in every
+ instance I have retained that particular version which seemed to
+ me to be the most characteristic, and have given it without
+ embellishment and without exaggeration.--_Introduction._
+
+All children should have the opportunity to know and to love Uncle
+Remus, as they cannot fail to do if they are familiar with his
+narratives. The Negro dialect often makes it desirable to have these
+read aloud.

+An exquisite legend, beautiful in spirit and language.
+
+ There have been written in our English language a few tales
+ bearing a rich moral lesson that are an unfailing source of
+ delight, alike to childhood and to youth, and that are at the

+ overthrows of dynasties and the movements of whole races of men,
+ by the work of Arabian scholars when printing was unknown, and by
+ the labors of Europeans almost in our own day, these stories have
+ survived to transport us into a world of splendor and
+ magic.--_Introduction._
+
+A carefully edited selection of thirteen of these famous tales, with
+which, of course, every child should be familiar.
+
+
+THACKERAY, W.M. (p. 104)
+ The Rose and the Ring.
+ Edited by E.E. Hale.
+ Illustrated by the Author.
+ Heath. .25
+
+ But in the meanwhile, and for a brief holiday, let us laugh and
+ be as pleasant as we can. And you elder folks--a little joking
+ and dancing and fooling will do even you no harm. The author
+ wishes you a Merry Christmas, and welcomes you to the Fireside
+ Pantomime.
+ M.A. TITMARSH.
+
+This fairy extravaganza--Thackeray's only production for children--was
+written for a little sick girl.
+
+
+
+POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIES ADAPTED FROM
+GREAT AUTHORS.
+
+ Children are lucky to be children nowadays, for the idea is
+ pretty well disseminated that the very choicest from all the
+ garnered riches of the great world of literature should be given
+ them, that they may early be possessed of thoughts and feelings
+ that are true and large, sweet and beautiful.
+ RICHARD BURTON.
+
+
+GAYLEY, C.M., and M.C. FLAHERTY (Editors).
+ Poetry of the People.
+ Ginn. .50
+
+ Poems illustrative of the history and national spirit of England,
+ Scotland, Ireland, and America.--_Title-Page._
+
+The compilers have given us a volume of verse chosen from that (p. 105)
+which is "most simple, most hearty, most truly characteristic of
+the people, their tradition, history, and spirit; ... poetry sometimes
+by, and sometimes not, but always for, the people; poems that were
+household words with our fathers and mothers, and lay close to the
+heart because _of_ the heart."
+
+
+HAWEIS, M.E. (Mrs. H.R. HAWEIS).
+ Chaucer for Children.
+ Illustrated by the Author.
+ Scribner. 1.25
+
+Mrs. Haweis begins with an account of Chaucer's life and the London of
+his day. Portions of a number of the Tales follow, the original and
+the modern text being given in parallel columns, with prose
+abridgments connecting the selections. There are eight full-page
+colored pictures and a number of small woodcuts. Though possibly only
+an exceptional child will enjoy the book, it helps to bring the
+youthful reader closer to the time of Chaucer than any other version
+for children.
+
+
+RASPE, R.E.
+ *Tales from the Travels of Baron Munchausen.
+ Edited by E.E. Hale.
+ Heath. .20
+
+ "Some travellers are apt to advance more than is strictly true;
+ if any of the company entertain a doubt of my veracity, I shall
+ only say to such, I pity their want of faith."
+
+ Raspe was scholar enough to mix up with the real Munchausen's (p. 106)
+ amusing burlesques, exaggerations and fancies which are centuries
+ older, and which can be cited now from the crabbed language of
+ the Middle Ages.--_Note._
+
+
+SWIFT, JONATHAN.
+ Gulliver's Travels.
+ Educational. .40
+
+His voyage to Lilliput, his stay with the little people, and his
+adventures later among the giants of Brobdingnag, are classic. Written
+as a political satire, the narrative has served a gentler purpose than
+its original one. The littleness of the Lilliputians and the greatness
+of the giants appeal strongly to children.
+
+ And lo! the book from all its end beguiled,
+ A harmless wonder to some happy child.
+ BULWER-LYTTON.

+
+SCIENCE, OUT-OF-DOOR BOOKS, AND STORIES OF ANIMALS
+
+ In that forest to and fro
+ I can wander, I can go;
+ See the spider and the fly,
+ And the ants go marching by
+ Carrying parcels with their feet
+ Down the green and grassy street.
+ STEVENSON.
+
+
+DUNCAN, FRANCES.
+ Mary's Garden and How It Grew.
+ Century. 1.25
+
+The old gardener teaches Mary how to prepare and tend her garden (p. 107)
+through the year. Much practical information is given in a charming
+way with a thread of story.
+
+
+HERRICK, S.M. (B.).
+ The Earth in Past Ages.
+ American Book. .60
+
+A clear account of the geological story, interestingly told. Many of
+the illustrations are taken from Lyell, and Winchell.
+
+
+MILLER, O.T. (Pseudonym of Mrs. H. (M.) MILLER).
+ The Second Book of Birds.
+ Houghton. 1.00
+
+ Illustrated with colored and plain plates.... Systematically
+ arranged; non-technical descriptions. This takes the learner a
+ step farther than The First Book, and introduces him to
+ classification, giving examples of the best known species, east,
+ west, and south, of thirty families of land-birds, with account
+ of habits, and illustrative anecdotes. An appendix contains a
+ simple non-technical characterization of the several families, in
+ language a child can understand.
+ AUDUBON SOCIETY.
+
+
+PATTERSON, A.J.
+ The Spinner Family.
+ Illustrated by Bruce Horsfall.
+ McClurg. 1.25
+
+Children, while they do not like spiders, are invariably curious about
+them. This description of various species, with its good
+illustrations, will turn childish curiosity into genuine interest.
+
+
+WOOD, THEODORE. (p. 108)
+ A Natural History for Young People.
+ Dutton. 2.50
+
+In moderate compass this book gives us much information about the
+living creatures of the world. Mr. Wood is an authority. There are
+twelve colored and over three hundred black-and-white illustrations.
+
+
+WRIGHT, M.O.
+ Gray Lady and the Birds.
+ Macmillan. 1.75
+
+Although as a rule story-telling and science are best kept separate,
+their combination in this pleasant tale, written in the interest of
+bird-protection, can have only our hearty commendation. It arouses the
+interest of children not only by its style, but because there is such
+a fund of information about our birds. The volume contains twelve
+colored plates and thirty-six full-page illustrations in half-tone.
+
+
+
+STORIES
+

+ Little. 2.00
+
+The story tells how little Ben and good Sancho, his wonderful trained
+poodle, ran away from the circus, and found refuge and happiness with
+Bab and Betty in the old home under the lilacs.
+
+
+BAYLOR, F.C. (Mrs. F.C. (B.) BELGER).
+ Juan and Juanita.
+ Houghton. 1.50
+
+This account of the capture of Juan and Juanita by Comanches is
+founded on fact. A number of years ago two Mexican children were
+discovered by Indians on the other side of the Rio Grande, and carried
+away to the Llanos Estacados. After four years of captivity they made
+their escape, walking back three hundred miles through a wild country,
+and finally reaching their mother. The tale gives an interesting
+picture of hacienda life.
+
+
+BOYESEN, H.H.
+ The Modern Vikings.
+ Scribner. 1.25
+
+The author originally related these narratives of life and sport in
+the Norseland to his own children.
+
+ "For my Vikings love song and saga,
+ Like their conquering fathers of old;
+ And these are some of the stories
+ To the three little tyrants I told."
+
+
+CRICHTON, F.E. (p. 110)
+ Peep-in-the-World.
+ Longmans. 1.25
+
+An altogether charming description of a little girl's happy year spent
+with her German uncle in the old family castle. Peep-in-the-World's
+friendship with Knut the dwarf, who lives in the forest surrounded by
+the animals he loves and cares for, and the founding of an Order of
+Knights by the children, are sweet and natural incidents.
+
+
+DIAZ, A. (M.).
+ *The William Henry Letters.
+ Lothrop. 1.00
+
+Written by William Henry during the two years he was away at school.
+One of the best books for boys, and they love it. It has high
+standards, abounds in homely common-sense, and is very funny.
+
+
+EDGEWORTH, MARIA
+ Tales from Maria Edgeworth.
+ Illustrated by Hugh Thomson.
+ Stokes. 1.50
+
+Austin Dobson, in his introduction, gives us a sketch of Maria
+Edgeworth's upbringing and of the conditions which helped to produce
+the famous Parent's Assistant, from which twelve of the sixteen
+stories are here reprinted, accompanied by Mr. Thomson's delightful
+pictures.
+
+ "Fairies were not much in her line," says Mrs. Richmond Ritchie,
+ Thackeray's daughter, "but philanthropic manufacturers, (p. 111)
+ liberal noblemen, and benevolent ladies in travelling carriages,
+ do as well and appear in the nick of time to distribute rewards
+ or to point a moral."--_Introduction._
+
+
+HALE, L.P.
+ *The Peterkin Papers.
+ Houghton. 1.50
+
+ "Mr. Peterkin, Agamemnon, and Solomon John, took the postal card
+ to the post-office early one morning.... It must have been read
+ along its way: for by each mail came piles of postals and letters
+ from town after town, in answer to the question, and all in the
+ same tone: 'Yes, yes; publish the adventures of the Peterkin
+ family.'"
+
+The trials and troubles of the Peterkins and the helpful suggestions
+of the resourceful lady from Philadelphia will long be a source of
+amusement to folks both old and young.
+
+
+JENKS, A.E.
+ The Childhood of Ji-shib, the Ojibwa.
+ Illustrated by the Author.
+ The American Thresherman. 1.00
+
+ The story is written with no other thought than to have
+ constantly in mind what the Ojibwa child believes about the
+ events of his every-day life as given in the story. And the
+ following incidents are taken directly from the common life of
+ the tribe.
+ A.E. JENKS.
+
+ And now comes Dr. Jenks with a story of a Red Child, in which he
+ displays deep insight into Indian character, and describes the
+ Red Child as that interesting person might have described himself
+ in his own wigwam and to his own grandchildren in the evening of
+ his life. May many White Children read the story and learn
+ therein of our passing race.
+ W.J. McGEE.
+
+This mysterious tale of Ji-shib the Chippewa, and A-mi-kons the (p. 112)
+little beaver, his totem, follows Indian life from birth to early
+manhood. Dr. Jenks has prepared many small accompanying sketches.

+related by themselves. Charmingly illustrated in color; the costumes
+those of the period.
+
+ My Sister's part in the Leicester School (about two-thirds) was
+ purely her own; as it was (to the same quantity) in the
+ Shakespeare Tales which bear my name. I wrote only the Witch
+ Aunt, the First Going to Church, and the final story about a
+ little Indian Girl in a Ship.

+
+STODDARD, W.O.
+ Two Arrows.
+ Harper. .60
+
+The exploit by which a young Nez Perce won his name, and his further
+prowess, are related. The adventures of a mining party and the pursuit
+of rebellious Apaches by a company of United States cavalry are just
+what boys will enjoy reading about.
+
+
+WYSS, J.D.
+ The Swiss Family Robinson.
+ Illustrated by H. Kley.
+ Dutton. 2.50
+
+The experiences of this shipwrecked family are thus happily
+characterized by the _Spectator_: They _did_ sail in the tubs, and
+train zebras and ostriches for riding, and grow apples and pines in
+the same garden; and why shouldn't they?
+

+BROOKS, E.S.
+ The Century Book for Young Americans.
+ Century. 1.50
+
+Issued under the auspices of the National Society of the Sons of the
+American Revolution, this volume gives an account of the visit of (p. 115)
+a party of young people to Washington, where they learned much of
+interest regarding our government and the workings of its different
+departments. There are many illustrations.
+
+ "For Mr. Dunlop had said to his brother: 'Take them, first, to
+ the centre of things, Tom. Go to Washington. Let them see why our
+ government was made, how it was made, and how it is run.'"
+
+ Much regret has been felt from the fact that there has been no
+ book published heretofore in which the principles contended for
+ in the American Revolution, and a description of the institutions
+ of the Government, have been set forth in a sufficiently
+ interesting form to make the study attractive to children....
+ This work has now been produced, and it is presented in a form
+ which commends itself highly to the Society, and has received its
+ cordial approval.
+ HORACE PORTER.

+BROOKS, E.S.
+ The True Story of Benjamin Franklin.
+ Lothrop. 1.50
+
+ As one who had a hand in shaping the destinies and securing the
+ independence of his native land, by word and pen, by brain (p. 116)
+ and hand, it is most fitting that the story of his life should
+ be retold for young Americans.--_Preface._
+
+The volume contains many pictures.
+
+ Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to
+ learn.--_Poor Richard's Almanac._
+
+
+BROOKS, E.S.
+ The True Story of Lafayette.
+ Lothrop. 1.50
+
+ The whole life of Lafayette was a long struggle for
+ constitutional liberty, the freedom he had seen America secure
+ and which he so ardently desired for France.--_Preface._
+
+Mr. Brooks's account emphasizes the great Frenchman's disinterested
+services to our country at a time of dire need. Many illustrations add
+to the book's value.
+
+
+CHENOWETH, C. (V.D.).
+ Stories of the Saints.
+ Houghton. 1.25
+
+ "And as those of us who are men and women look with reverent and
+ smiling interest upon the outgrown garments, and books, and toys,
+ of our childhood, even so I think must Christendom ever look upon
+ these outgrown beliefs of an earlier day. There is not one of the
+ stories we can yet afford to lose. For we find, as we arrange the
+ allegory and romance, and the real, historic bits, in a way to
+ suit our wiser time, that the lessons they hold are as true for
+ us as they were for the childlike people who cherished them a
+ thousand years ago."
+
+The lives and legends of Saint George, Saint Denis, Saint Nicholas,
+Saint Elizabeth, and others less well known in the great brotherhood
+of all lands, are told with dignity and simplicity. The (p. 117)
+illustrations are taken from old pictures.

+COFFIN, C.C.
+ The Boys of '76.
+ Harper. 2.00

+ them.--_Preface._
+
+A companion to Old Times in the Colonies, with maps and many pictures.
+
+
+COFFIN, C.C.
+ Old Times in the Colonies.
+ Harper. 2.00
+
+Mr. Coffin's writings are full of reliable historical information,
+interestingly told. This, the first of a series, takes us from the

+
+
+CREIGHTON, L.H. (V.G.).
+ A First History of France.
+ Longmans. 1.25
+
+There is no reason why history should not be made delightful, though
+it so often fails in this respect. This little book of Mrs. Mandell
+Creighton's, with its good maps, and illustrations, many of them from
+old prints, is truly interesting to children.
+
+
+GILMAN, ARTHUR.

+ Lothrop. .50
+
+ The term Making of the American Nation, as used in the title (p. 118)

+ nation.--_Preface._

+conditions of our country at different periods by means of extracts
+from contemporary sources, freely edited. Many illustrations are
+given.

+ The stories are the same in substance as when they were first
+ told, two and three centuries ago; but their garb has been
+ changed without adding a detail or altering a statement of
+ fact.--_Introduction._
+
+
+HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL.
+ Grandfather's Chair, and Biographical Stories.
+ Houghton. .70
+
+ In writing this ponderous tome, the author's desire has been to
+ describe the eminent characters and remarkable events of our
+ annals in such a form and style that the YOUNG may make
+ acquaintance with them of their own accord. For this purpose,
+ while ostensibly relating the adventures of a chair, he has
+ endeavored to keep a distinct and unbroken thread of authentic
+ history.... The author, it is true, has sometimes assumed the
+ license of filling up the outline of history with details for
+ which he has none but imaginative authority, but which, he hopes,
+ do not violate nor give a false coloring to the
+ truth.--_Preface._
+
+Grandfather's Chair records, in narrative form, New England (p. 119)
+chronicles from 1620 to the War for Independence. Biographical Stories
+are tales of West, Newton, Johnson, Cromwell, Franklin, and Queen
+Christina, told to a little boy with defective sight. The book has a
+biographical sketch, notes, and illustrations.
+
+
+HEMSTREET, CHARLES.
+ The Story of Manhattan.
+ Scribner. 1.00
+
+ Here the history of New York City is told as a story, in few
+ words. The effort has been to make it accurate and interesting.
+ The illustrations are largely from old prints and wood
+ engravings. Few dates are used. Instead, a Table of Events has
+ been added which can readily be referred to. The Index to
+ Chapters also gives the years in which the story of each chapter
+ occurs.--_Preface._
+
+
+HILL, C.T.
+ Fighting a Fire.
+ Century. 1.50
+
+An interesting account of the methods used in extinguishing fires and

+
+
+McMASTER, J.B.
+ A Primary History of the United States.
+ American Book. .60
+
+ This book has been written in the belief that a primary history
+ of the United States should be short, as interesting as possible,
+ and well illustrated.... The illustrations are historically
+ authentic.--_Preface._
+
+
+PRICE, L.L. (p. 120)
+ Wandering Heroes.
+ Silver. .50
+
+The deeds of great men belonging to different

+
+
+TAPPAN, E.M.
+ In the Days of Alfred the Great.
+ Lothrop. 1.00
+
+As stated in the preface, this narrative of the life of the famous
+king is the result of a thoughtful study of his character and an
+earnest effort to be as accurate as the scantiness of material and the
+thousand years' interval would permit.
+
+ I have sought to live my life worthily.
+ ALFRED THE GREAT.
+
+
+TAPPAN, E.M.
+ In the Days of Queen Elizabeth.
+ Lothrop. 1.00
+
+ Of all the sovereigns that have worn the crown of England, Queen
+ Elizabeth is the most puzzling, the most fascinating, the most
+ blindly praised, and the most unjustly blamed.... At a distance
+ of three hundred years it is not easy to balance these claims to
+ censure and to admiration, but at least no one should forget that
+ the little white hand of which she was so vain guided the ship of
+ state with most consummate skill in its perilous passage through
+ the troubled waters of the latter half of the sixteenth
+ century.--_Preface._
+
+The book is illustrated from well-known paintings.
+
+
+TAPPAN, E.M. (p. 121)
+ In the Days of William the Conqueror.
+ Lothrop. 1.00
+
+ The story of William the Conqueror is the story of the man who
+ for more than a quarter of a century was the most prominent
+ personage of Western Europe.... Whatever in the character of the
+ Conqueror the twentieth century may find worthy of blame or of
+ praise, no student of his life will deny that his faults were
+ those of his time, that his virtues were his own.--_Preface._

+HOPE, A.R.
+ The World.
+ Macmillan. 1.50
+
+Although from its nature and size this book can give only a glimpse of
+each country, yet it does seem to convey, in moderate compass, a
+general view of the world, and quite a vivid impression of the

+BALDWIN, JAMES.
+ The Story of Roland.
+ Scribner. 1.50
+
+This romance tells of the great Charlemagne, and of his warriors,
+Roland and Oliver and Ogier the Dane, all companions in arms. As James

+the song-writers and poets of five centuries and of as many languages.
+
+
+BALDWIN, JAMES.
+ The Story of Siegfried.
+ Illustrated by Howard Pyle.
+ Scribner. 1.50
+
+From the many versions, Elder and Younger Edda, Volsunga Saga, and

+this ancient tale. Though he sometimes draws material from his own
+imagination, the essential parts of the myth remain unaltered.

+
+ In adding one more to the innumerable collections of stories from
+ the Greek, I have hoped to break fresh ground by reproducing the
+ myths of Pindar's Odes, as far as possible in a free translation,
+ and with such additions only as were needed to form a framework.
+ Some of these legends are already wholly or partly familiar, but
+ several will be new, I think, to English readers.--_Preface._
+
+These old tales are rendered in exquisite language. They include,
+among others, the stories of Tantalus, the Heavenly Twins, Jason, (p. 126)
+and the Pansy Baby. The poet was bidden to prepare the Ode, from which
+this last story is taken, in honor of a friend's victory in the Olympic
+Games. The illustrations are in terra-cotta and black.

+been given to the flowers' insect visitors. This large volume (p. 131)
+contains thirty-two pages of color plates, and forty-eight in black
+and white. Children learn so much from association with a book of this
+sort that it has been placed, because of the pictures, under a younger
+heading than the text alone would warrant.
+
+ Mr. Dugmore's very beautiful photographs in color from the living

+ . . . . . . . . . . .
+ So, darlings, take this little childish story,
+ In which some gleams of the old sunshine play,
+ And, as with careless hands you turn the pages,
+ Look back and smile, as here I smile to-day.
+
+This account of the lively doings of the six little Carrs is full of
+action and interest. In the midst of her happy life poor Katy has to
+stop and learn, through the invalidism which comes as the result of an
+accident, the great lessons of patience, cheerfulness, and living for
+others. Happily, in the end, after her battle has been won, full

+
+ The following pages are ... a simplification of the story of (p. 147)

+ NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY.
+
+This volume seems to the compiler of this List one of the few books on
+art which children will read with real enjoyment. It is not (p. 148)
+included with a view to having it take the place of a history of art,
+but to give a part of the information which old Vasari has handed down
+to us with such charm. The language is delightful, and we carry away
+some of the atmosphere of that sunny Italian period. It is a pity that
+we are not given illustrations photographed from the originals,
+instead of more or less modified drawings.

+BROOKS, NOAH.
+ The Story of Marco Polo.
+ Century. 1.50
+
+ The manner of the return of the Polos long after they had been
+ given up for dead, the subsequent adventures of Marco Polo, the
+ incredulity with which his book of travels was received, the
+ gradual and slow confirmation of the truth of his reports as
+ later explorations penetrated the mysterious Orient, and the fact
+ that he may be justly regarded as the founder of the geography of
+ Asia, have all combined to give to his narrative a certain
+ fascination, with which no other story of travel has been
+ invested.--_Preface._
+
+As far as possible, Mr. Brooks has allowed the traveler to speak for

+In this good geographical reader the children are taken "upon a

+written on the ground, and a very large number of the photographs were

+
+Many changes and improvements have come about since 1854, when (p. 151)

+ ... words introduced into our language since his time have been
+ as far as possible avoided.... What these Tales shall have been
+ to the _young_ readers, that and much more it is the writers'
+ wish that the true Plays of Shakspeare may prove to them in older
+ years--enrichers of the fancy, strengtheners of virtue, a
+ withdrawing from all selfish and mercenary thoughts, a lesson of
+ all sweet and honourable thoughts and actions, to teach courtesy,
+ benignity, generosity, humanity: for of examples, teaching these

+This simply-told story presents in a charming way a sketch of French
+life in the reign of Louis XII. It tells of how little Gabriel helped

+ The Prince and the Pauper.
+ Harper. 1.75
+
+This never-was-but-might-have-been story is truly one "for young
+people of all ages." It tells of the exchange of station which
+occurred between young Edward Prince of Wales and Tom Canty the (p. 170)
+beggar's son. Tom grows to like the stately life, but the noble
+young prince learns many a bitter truth about his realm. We are glad
+for both boys when the latter, now King Edward VI, comes to his own
+again. The author follows closely the life and customs of the day.
+
+In spite of the main incident and its consequences being historically
+factitious, the tale presents a vivid picture of the young King and
+his people, and the London of that time.

+ It does not often happen that a young man of twenty-five writes a

+ history of Dana's Two Years before the Mast.--_Biographical
+ Sketch._
+
+The author, a boy of nineteen, left Harvard College in 1834 and
+shipped as a sailor, hoping by this open-air life to cure a serious

+ India.
+ Illustrated by Mortimer Menpes.
+ Macmillan. .75
+
+We journey to the court of a native prince, travel through the
+bazaars, and visit village, jungle, and even the great Himalayas
+themselves. The book is particularly interesting, because India is
+less well known to young people than many other lands. Of the twelve
+colored pictures, two are specially good,--a tailor at work, and a (p. 179)
+Sikh warrior.
+
+

+ Japan.
+ Illustrated by Ella du Cane.
+ Macmillan. .75
+
+The volume is devoted rather to the habits, manners, and customs, of
+this wonderful people than to a description of the country itself. Boy
+and girl life, games, feast-days, the occupations of a Japanese day,
+the police, and the soldier, are told about in an entertaining manner.
+There are eight plates in color.

+
+A satisfactory introduction to exploration in general, and a

+Africa, Asia, and Australia. The journeys of Livingstone, Stanley, and
+many other well-known African explorers, are related; Rockhill's

+dwelt upon. Maps and many illustrations add to the book's value.

+
+Valuable not only as literature, but in that it gives the personal

+before the building of a trans-continental railway. Parkman made this
+trip in 1846.
+
+ The Wild West is tamed, and its savage charms have withered. If
+ this book can help to keep their memory alive, it will have done
+ its part. It has found a powerful helper in the pencil of Mr.
+ Remington, whose pictures are as full of truth as of spirit, for
+ they are the work of one who knew the prairies and the mountains
+ before irresistible commonplace had subdued them.--_Preface to

+incidents based on events in Old England's history are told to the
+children by those who shared in them. A series of remarkable stories,
+alternating with even more remarkable poems. The average child will
+better enjoy hearing them read aloud, as they presuppose a fuller (p. 182)

+ interested in wild flowers.--_The Nation._
+
+The primary characteristic of this guide to the names, haunts, and
+habits, of our common wild flowers is that, in moderate compass, it
+groups and describes them under their different colors. This
+arrangement was suggested by a passage in one of John Burroughs's
+Talks about Flowers. There are indices to the Latin and English names
+and to technical terms. The forty-eight full-page colored and one

+SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM.
+ Julius Caesar.
+ Edited by W.J. Rolfe.
+ American Book. .56
+
+ The Tragedie of Julius Caesar was first published in the (p. 205)
+ Folio of 1623.... The date at which the drama was written has
+ been variously fixed by the critics.... Halliwell has shown that
+ it was written "in or before the year 1601." ... The only source
+ from which Shakespeare appears to have derived his materials was
+ Sir Thomas North's version of Plutarch's Lives.... Shakespeare
+ has in this play and elsewhere shown the same penetration into
+ political character and the springs of public events as into
+ those of every-day life.--_Introduction._
+
+ The merit I see in Mr. Rolfe's school editions of Shakspere's
+ Plays over those most widely used in England is that Mr. Rolfe
+ edits the plays as works of a poet, and not only as productions
+ in Tudor English.

+
+SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM.
+ Macbeth.
+ Edited by W.J. Rolfe.
+ American Book. .56
+
+ Macbeth was first printed in the folio of 1623.... It was written
+ between 1604 and 1610.... Dr. Simon Forman ... saw the play
+ performed "at the Globe, 1610, the 20th of April, Saturday." It
+ may then have been a new play, but it is more probable, as nearly
+ all the critics agree, that it was written in 1605 or 1606. 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. The more
+ authentic history is thus summarized by Sir Walter Scott: ... As
+ a king, the tyrant so much exclaimed against was, in reality, a
+ firm, just, and equitable prince.--_Introduction._
+
+ No one can examine these volumes and fail to be impressed (p. 206)
+ with the conscientious accuracy and scholarly completeness with
+ which they are edited.

+SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM.
+ The Merchant of Venice.
+ Edited by W.J. Rolfe.

+
+ The plot of The Merchant of Venice is composed of two distinct
+ stories: that of the bond, and that of the caskets. Both these
+ fables are found in the Gesta Romanorum, a Latin compilation of
+ allegorical tales, which had been translated into English as
+ early as the time of Henry VI.... The Merchant of Venice is one
+ of Shakespeare's most perfect works: popular to an extraordinary
+ degree.... Shylock the Jew is one of the inimitable masterpieces
+ of characterization which are to be found only in
+ Shakespeare.--_Introduction._
+
+
+SHAKESPEARE. WILLIAM.
+ A Midsummer-Night's Dream.
+ Doubleday. 5.00
+
+ The Midsummer-Night's Dream is the first play which exhibits the
+ imagination of Shakespeare in all its fervid and creative power;
+ for though ... it may be pronounced the offspring of youth and
+ inexperience, it will ever in point of fancy be considered as
+ equal to any subsequent drama of the poet.

+
+ The Italian sculptors of the earlier half of the fifteenth
+ century are more than mere forerunners of the great masters of
+ its close, and often reach perfection within the narrow limits
+ which they chose to impose on their work. Their sculpture shares

+
+ This book is an enlarged and revised edition of a book published,
+ with the same title, by the late Thomas Bulfinch, of Boston, in
+ the year 1855.... What Mr. Bulfinch wanted to do, and succeeded
+ in doing, was to connect the old stories with modern literature.
+ His book, therefore, not only interests young people in the
+ classical authors, but it turns their attention to many of the
+ best authors of their own language and of our time.--_Preface._
+
+In the revision the list of poets cited has been increased from forty
+to sixty-three, and the portion treating of Northern, Oriental, and
+Egyptian mythologies, rewritten. The illustrations are from classical
+sources.

+ The Lady of the Lake.
+ Edited by W.J. Rolfe.
+ Houghton. .75
+
+ The ancient manners, the habits and customs of the aboriginal
+ race by whom the Highlands of Scotland were inhabited, had always
+ appeared to me peculiarly adapted to poetry. The change in their
+ manners, too, had taken place almost within my own time, or at
+ least I had learned many particulars concerning the ancient state
+ of the Highlands from the old men of the last generation. I had
+ always thought the old Scottish Gael highly adapted for poetical
+ composition.... I had also read a great deal, seen much, and
+ heard more, of that romantic country where I was in the habit of
+ spending some time every Autumn; and the scenery of Loch (p. 214)
+ Katrine was connected with the recollection of many a dear friend
+ and merry expedition of former days. This poem, the action of
+ which lay among scenes so beautiful and so deeply imprinted on my
+ recollections, was a labor of love, and it was no less so to
+ recall the manners and incidents introduced. The frequent custom
+ of James IV, and particularly of James V, to walk through their
+ kingdom in disguise, afforded me the hint of an incident which
+ never fails to be interesting if managed with the slightest
+ address or dexterity.--_Introduction to the Edition of 1830._
+
+The Lady of the Lake was first published in 1810. This edition has
+many notes by Mr. Rolfe.

+
+ The Poem, now offered to the Public, is intended to illustrate
+ the customs and manners which anciently prevailed on the Borders
+ of England and Scotland.... The date of the Tale itself is about
+ the middle of the sixteenth century, when most of the personages
+ actually flourished. The time occupied by the action is Three
+ Nights and Three Days.--_Original Preface._

+
+ The present story turns upon the private adventures of a

+ because the hero's fate is connected with that memorable (p. 215)

+ the commencement of August, and concludes with the defeat of
+ Flodden, 9th September, 1513.--_Original Preface._

+ Harper's Electricity Book for Boys.
+ Harper. 1.75
+
+A large part of this volume is somewhat beyond the grasp of the
+average boy of fourteen, and parents should look it over carefully
+before letting their children carry out the instructions, though we
+are told that "there need be no concern whatever as to possible danger
+if the book is read with reasonable intelligence. Mr. Adams has taken
+pains to place danger-signals wherever special precautions are
+advisable, and, as a father of boys who are constantly working with
+electricity in his laboratory, he may be relied upon as a safe and
+sure counsellor and guide."
+
+Directions are given for making, among other things, push-buttons,
+switches, annunciators, dynamos, simple telephones, and line and
+wireless telegraphs. There is a chapter on electroplating. At the (p. 217)
+end of the volume is an article explaining electric light, heat, power,
+and traction, by J.B. Baker, technical editor, United States Geological
+Survey; also a dictionary of electrical terms. Many working diagrams
+are included.

+BURROUGHS, JOHN.
+ Wake-Robin.
+ Houghton. 1.25
+
+ This is mainly a book about the birds, or more properly an
+ invitation to the study of Ornithology.... I have reaped my
+ harvest more in the woods than in the study; what I offer, in
+ fact, is a careful and conscientious record of actual
+ observations and experiences, and is true as it stands (p. 218)
+ written, every word of it.... A more specific title for the
+ volume would have suited me better, but not being able to satisfy
+ myself in this direction, I cast about for a word thoroughly in
+ the atmosphere and spirit of the book, which I hope I have found
+ in "Wake-Robin"--the common name of the white Trillium, which
+ blooms in all our woods, and which marks the arrival of all the
+ birds.--_Preface._
+
+The titles of some of the different articles are: In the Hemlocks, The

+Mr. Ditmars, Curator of Reptiles in the New York Zooelogical Park,
+gives us a comprehensive treatise on the structure and habits of the
+turtles, tortoises, crocodilians, lizards, and snakes, of the United

+and one hundred and twenty-eight in black and white, from (p. 219)
+photographs from life, taken (with six exceptions) by the Author.
+
+ In the present work the writer has sought to compile a popular
+ review of a great fauna--the Reptiles of North America. He has
+ excluded technical phraseology and tried to produce two results:
+ 1. A popular book, that may be comprehended by the beginner and,
+ 2. A book valuable in its details to the technical

+ The Moth Book.
+ Doubleday. 4.00
+
+An intelligent boy or girl of fourteen, with a real interest in the

+of Mexico, though it is written more from the standpoint of the
+student than are most of the series to which it belongs. There are

+
+These two distinguished scientists have given in this treatise on

+
+ The object of this book is to tell some of the interesting facts

+ extinct inhabitants of the ancient world.--_Introduction._
+
+ "Mr. Knight ... is the one modern artist who can picture
+ prehistoric animals with artistic charm of presentation as well
+ as with full scientific accuracy."
+
+While Mr. Lucas did not, in this instance, write for children, they
+greatly enjoy his descriptions, and are captivated by Mr. Knight's
+pictures of the strange creatures. There is a very interesting chapter
+on The Ancestry of the Horse.

+ The Shell Book.
+ Doubleday. 4.00
+
+ Every person interested in shells has felt the need of a (p. 223)

+ to the comprehensive manuals provided for those who wish to study
+ birds or insects or trees.... The plan and nomenclature of this
+ book follow the accepted standard, The Manual of Conchology, by
+ Tryon and Pilsbry.--_Preface._
+
+Miss Rogers has made an extensive study of conchology on the east and
+west coasts of North America. The result is this popular guide to a
+knowledge of the families of living mollusks, which is also an aid to
+the identification of shells native and foreign. There is a chapter on
+the maintenance of aquariums and snaileries. Eight of the plates are

+It will be strange indeed if these fascinating and romantic tales fail

+arouse in him the laudable ambition of some day seeing for himself the
+three palaces, the mosque, the chapel, and the halls, of the
+marvellous Alhambra.
+
+ The work was the amusement of his leisure moments, filling the
+ interval between the completion of one serious, and now all but
+ unknown, history and the beginning of the next.... And thus his
+ name has become so closely associated with the place that, just
+ as Diedrich Knickerbocker will be remembered while New York
+ stands, so Washington Irving cannot be forgotten so long as the
+ Red Palace looks down upon the Vega and the tradition of the Moor

+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,

+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that

+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any

+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. 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 4. 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.
