Arnold, Gertrude Weld

"A Mother's List of Books for Children"

... One great thing which I
have wished my readers to learn is the charm of an original
narrative.... The explorers of various nations are represented in
this book. There are Northmen, Italians, Englishmen, Frenchmen,
Spaniards, and Dutchmen.--_Preface._
These original accounts cover the field of American exploration from
the discovery of the country by the Northmen in 985 to the settlement
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629.

KING, C.F.
Roundabout Rambles in Northern Europe.
Lothrop. 1.25
This very fully illustrated volume gives a conversational account of a
trip through Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and (p. 211)
Russia. It is an excellent book for children to use while travelling.
Mr. King has also prepared several about our own country.

LUMMIS, C.F.
Some Strange Corners of Our Country.
Century. 1.50
Mr. Lummis describes the wonders of the Southwest,--the Grand Canon,
the Petrified Forest of Arizona, and the Desert. He tells of the
Moquis in their seven seldom visited Pueblo cities, of the Navajos and
other Indian tribes, with their strange customs, dances, and magic.
