The writer, his children having an interest in heraldry, set himself at the task of telling them what he knew of it. Hence the book; which treats the whole subject formally, yet with a pleasant vacation air. =Family Flight Series.= By E. E. HALE and SUSAN HALE, 5 vols., 8vo, boards, each, 1.75; cloth, 2.25. Book journeys through the several countries with eyes and ears wide open, old eyes and young eyes and ears. The books are full of pictures, and fuller of knowledge not only of what is going on but what has gone on ever since book-making began, and fuller yet of brightness and interest. You see the old as old; but you see it; you see where it was and the marks it left. You see the new with eyes made sharper by knowledge of what has gone in the world. In other words these books amount to something like going through these places with a traveling companion who knows all about them and their histories. They are written and pictured for boys and girls; but there is nothing to hinder the old folks going along. Will you go? FAMILY FLIGHT AROUND HOME. FAMILY FLIGHT OVER EGYPT AND SYRIA. FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH FRANCE, GERMANY, NORWAY AND SWITZERLAND. FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH MEXICO. FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH SPAIN. One of the most effective means of exciting and satisfying zeal for knowledge of the world we have in books. =Young Folks’ Cyclopædia of Stories.= 4to, cloth, 3.00.
