More than this, we know that some of these copies are read daily, as well as consulted; that their owners turn the leaves as they might those of a fairy book, reading intently articles of which they had not thought before seeing them, and treating the book simply as one capable of furnishing the rarest entertainment in exhaustless quantities.--_N. Y. Evening Post._ LITERATURE AND ART 604 pp. 270 Illustrations "Few poems, plays, novels, pictures, statues, or fictitious characters that children--or most of their parents--of our day are likely to inquire about will be missed here. Mr. Champlin's judgment seems unusually sound."--_The Nation._ GAMES AND SPORTS By JOHN D.
