Famous Children
By H. TWITCHELL, Illustrated, $1.25
We have here a most valuable book, telling not of the childhood of
those who have afterwards become famous, but those who as children are
famous in history, song, and story. For convenience the subjects are
grouped as "Royal Children," "Child Artists," "Learned Children,"
"Devoted Children," "Child Martyrs," and "Heroic Children," and the
names of the "two little princes," Louis XVII., Mozart, St. Genevieve,
David, and Joan of Arc are here, as well as those of many more.
The Story of the Cid
For Young People
By CALVIN DILL WILSON, Illustrated by J. W. KENNEDY, $1.25
Mr. Wilson, a well-known writer and reviewer, has prepared from
Southey's translation, which was far too cumbrous to entertain the
young, a book that will kindle the imagination of youth and entertain
and inform those of advanced years.
Jason's Quest
By D. O. S. LOWELL, A.M., M.D., Master in Roxbury Latin School,
Illustrated, $1.00
Nothing can be better to arouse the imagination of boys and girls, and
at the same time store in their minds knowledge indispensable to any
one who would be known as cultured, or happier than Professor Lowell's
way of telling a story, and the many excellent drawings have lent great
spirit to the narrative.
Heroes of the Crusades
By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS, Cloth, Fifty full-page illustrations, $1.50
The romantic interest in the days of chivalry, so fully exemplified by
the "Heroes of the Crusades," is permanent and properly so. This book
is fitted to keep it alive without descending to improbability of cheap
sensationalism.
