series of Toy. books for children, adapted to juve-
niles of every age from the time they are able TO
look at pictures till they can pick their way
through easy reading without difficulty. The
series is divided into four parts of several Lilpu
tisn volumes each, presenting every variety OF
rhyme, riddle ard story from Tom Thumbs Pic
ture Alphabet, and Little Poems for Little Chill
dren 10 instructive anecdotes of Natural History,
and other charming pieces in prose and verse.
They are all illustrated with exquisite wood
engravings from designs by Chapman, not only
avoiding the pictorial scarecrows that abound in
so many chidren's books, but presenting objects
adapted to cultivate the eye and taste at an early
age by their real artistic beauty The use Of these
little morceaus of grace in the nursery would do
more for the formation of a refined taste than
handred crying spells over grabbed lesson.
