THE POPULAR WORKS of MR. PETER •
PARLEY, VOYAGER, TRAVELLER, and STORY-'•
TELLER. Comprising Pieces adapted to all stanes of thayouth-
Ifni faculties, written in a familiar manner, that they who read
may have delight ;----that they who are desirous to commit to
memory may have ease ;—and that all into whose hands they come
may have limit. These books may pass from hand to hand in the
family circle, and the Parents will not disdain to find amusement
in what they are called upon to explain to their Children. Young
people will not regard them as things they must read as a task ;
but which they will love to consult as a companion and friend ; in
short, the reading of which may be permitted as a reward of good
conduct, but the denial felt as a punishment for bal.
1. TALES OF ANIMALS.
Comprising Quadrupeds, Birds, Fishes, Reptiles, and Insects. The
Sixth Edition, embellished with Two Hundred and Eighty Cuts.
Price 52. in cloth boards.
" Natural History is a subject which affords more amusing de-
tails and more astonishing facts, and suggests more deep and im-
portant reflections, than any other in the whole range of natural!
science. The 'natter in this volume is very excellently adaptedi
to the capacity and the wants of children. The style simple,'
neat, and perspicuous ; the subjects are well selected and happily
treated."
2. TALES ABOUT EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AND
AMERICA.
A New Edition, with great Additions. Embellished with One
Hundred and Thirty-six Cuts. Price 7s. 6d. in fancy boards.
" The execution of this work, as respects typography and ar-
rangement,is admirable and attractive ; the wood cuts are of un-
common excellence. Here is that specific kind of literature for
youth, combining information with amusement, which is adapted to
counteract the taste for silly tales, awaken a laldable curiosity, and
gratify an intelligent youth in a manner and to an extent which
mere fiction never can."
3. TALES ABOUT GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
A NevrEdition, greatly improved, and embellished with upwards
of One Hundred Cuts. Price 7s. 6d. in fancy boards.
" These volumes by Peter Parley are now universally admitted
into every family, and particularly among Quakers, whose methodl
of using them is interesting : one of the children reads some inte-
resting fact, the rest sit still and hear ; gometimes they are requested
,to repeat the substance of their reading verbally (by word of mouth)
