“A veritable children’s book, but of that best kind which
grown-up people also enjoy.”—_Canada Presbyterian._
“This is a delightful book for little children; bright,
wholesome, full of subtle touches of nature, and the best of
teaching. . . We tried the book on a bright boy of four, and
found it take immensely and at once.”—_The Wesleyan._
A Lady writes from London, Eng. “‘Cot and Cradle Stories’ is a
delightful collection of the realistic, detailed histories of
animals, birds and children, so dear to little people. . . It is
difficult to overrate the charm of a book like this to young
children, and the only difficulty I found in reading it aloud
was that each story was asked for so often that I nearly
despaired of getting to the next.”

botanical descriptions by Mrs. Traill. Embellished with ten

=LOST IN THE BACKWOODS: A Tale of the Canadian= =Forest.= This
story, written in 1846, and which so many of the men and women

the young. Cloth, illustrated, 90 cents.
