The Boys' and Girls' Pliny: Being parts of Pliny's "Natural History" edited for boys and girls, with an Introduction
Pliny, the Elder
Animals -- Juvenile literature; Natural history -- Juvenile literature; Physical sciences -- Juvenile literature
“The book really contains those parts of Herodotus which a judicious
parent would most likely have his boys and girls acquainted with, and
Mr. White has succeeded in condensing these by omitting multitudes of
phrases inserted in the Greek text. The print is so large and clear
that no one need fear that it will foster a tendency to
near-sightedness on the part of boy or girl.”—_Nation._
The Travels of Marco Polo.
Edited for Boys and Girls, with explanatory notes and comments, by
Thomas W. Knox. With over 200 illustrations. 8^o
$1.75
“To the student of geography Marco Polo needs no introduction. He is
revered as the greatest of all travellers in the Middle Ages, and by
more than one careful geographer his work is believed to have led to
the discovery of the New World by the Hardy Mariner of Genoa.... The
story of his travels was received with incredulity, and he died while
Europe was gravely doubting its truth. It has remained for later
generations to establish the correctness of his narrative and accord
him the praise he so richly deserves.”
