THE BIBLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
Century. 1.50
This careful chronological arrangement of Bible history, from the King
James version, is very satisfactory. The book is a large one, with
full-page illustrations from the Old Masters.
STORIES
It is enough fame for any author to be loved by children,
generation after generation, long after he himself has left the
scene.
W.A. JONES. _1844._
ABBOTT, JACOB.
A Boy on a Farm.
Edited by Clifton Johnson.
From Rollo at Work and Rollo at Play.
Introduction by Dr. Lyman Abbott.
American Book. .45
Few books axe remembered with greater affection by persons (p. 48)
who were children in the middle of the last century than those
written by Jacob Abbott.... The educational effect of Jacob
Abbott's stories, both mental and moral, was very great.... The
insistence, however, with which these virtues were proclaimed and
emphasized, constitutes a weakness in the books as we view them
now.--_Preface._
Here we have the very saturnalia of common-sense.... These works
are invaluable to fathers; by keeping always one volume in
advance of his oldest son, a man can stand before the household,
an encyclopaedia of every practical art.
