Arnold, Gertrude Weld

"A Mother's List of Books for Children"

.50
A brief life of England's great explorer, giving details of his three
famous voyages and his tragic end. There are eight pictures in color.

LEE, YAN PHOU. (p. 180)
When I was a Boy in China.
Lothrop. .75
This informing sketch of Chinese boyhood is by a native who left home
at the age of twelve years to be educated in the United States.

PARKMAN, FRANCIS.
The Oregon Trail.
Illustrated by Frederic Remington.
Little. 2.00
Valuable not only as literature, but in that it gives the personal
experiences of an intelligent observer in crossing the plains, long
before the building of a trans-continental railway. Parkman made this
trip in 1846.
The Wild West is tamed, and its savage charms have withered. If
this book can help to keep their memory alive, it will have done
its part. It has found a powerful helper in the pencil of Mr.
Remington, whose pictures are as full of truth as of spirit, for
they are the work of one who knew the prairies and the mountains
before irresistible commonplace had subdued them.--_Preface to
the Illustrated Edition._

PLUMMER, M.W.
Roy and Ray in Canada.
