What the Rev. ]. William Jones. ID D.,
thinks OF Mrs Wlliamson's LIFE OF
GENERAL ROBERT H. LEE. FOR Chill
dren:
THE Life Of Robert f. Lee. for Chill.
dren." by Mrs. Mary l.. Williamson. H. "A
fine conception admirably executed The
salient facts in the life and character OF
our peerless chleftain should be taught
in every home and every school OF the
South, and his virtues should be held
up for the imitation OF our youth.
The larger books are unsuitable for
this purpose. and many of the so-called
histories used in our schools are utterly
misleading in what they say and IN what
they omit.
Mrs. williamson has. therefore. done
needed work In bringing the life ana
character OF our Lee down to the COM
rrehension and admiration OF our chill
dren. Her style Is simple and her mar
rative deeply interesting. while she has
displayed sound judgment and excellent
taste i'm the selection Of her material
and her admirable use OF IT,
children will delight in her clear, deep
lv-interesting narrative. while grown
peope win read with quickened interest
her thrilling story OF a great life.
The publishers. The Baughman sta
tionery Company, Richmond. Va, have
done their work admirably. and the type.
paper, illustrations, and binding are all
triumphs Of the book makers art. and
the book one that will attract the eye
and please the fancy OF the children.
without reserve. and very earnestly.
therefore | would recommend this little
volume as every way worthy OF place
in our homes our day schools. and our
sunday schools-far better indeed, than
the average sunday-school library book.
