DICKENS, CHARLES.
A Child's History of England.
Houghton. 2.50
Its adaptation to the needs of children lies in its lively (p. 144)
narrative form, and the picturesqueness of many of the scenes
which it presents.--_Introduction._
This volume, written with Dickens' own eight children in mind, now
more than fifty years ago, holds the interest of the boys and girls of
to-day as keenly as when it first appeared. The many excellent
illustrations add to its attraction and value.
DOLE, C.F.
The Young Citizen.

Permeated by the spirit of a broad and noble patriotism, and written
in the interests of national peace, law, and good government, in
regard to which it gives, very simply, much information. There are
also chapters on voting, the proper use of the people's money, the
ideal city and town, policemen and their duties, et cetera; all quite
within the comprehension of a child. The book contains many
illustrations.
