Press, Savannah. Ca:
Mrs. Williamson has performed a great
work for the young people OF the South.
Her book Is a very Ingenious and inter-
esting presentation OF the true facts
OF history.
What the Rev. ]. William Jones. ID. d.,
thinks OF Mrs. Willamson's LIFE or
GENERAL ROBERT T.. LEE. for Chill
dren:
1.-THE Life Of Robert +. Lee. for Chill
dren." by Mrs. Mary l.. Williamson. is a
fine conception admirably executed. The
salient facts in the life and character OF
our peerless chieftain should be taught
in every home and every school Of the
South, and his virtues should DO held
up for the imitation OF our youth.
The larger books are unsuitable for
this purpose and many OF the so-caiIed
histories used In our schools are utterly
misleading in what they say and Ia what
they omit.
Mrs. Williamson has. therefore. done a
needed work in bringing the life and
character of our Lee down TO the COM
prehension and admiration OF our chill
dren. Her style f. simple and her mar
rative deeply interesting. while she has
displayed sound judgment and excellent
taste In the selection of her material
and her admirable use OF IT,
children will delight In her clear. deep
lv-iuteresting narrative. while grown
people win read with qnickened interest
her thrilling story OF a great life.
The publishers. The Baughman Sta
tlonery Company Richmond, Va. have
done their work admirably. and the type.
paper. illustrations. and binding are all
triumphs OF the book-maker's art. and
the book one that VIII attract the eye
and please the fancy Of the children.
without reserve, and very earnestly
therefore. I would recommend this little
volume rs every way worthy OF . piscs
In our homes our day schools. and our
Sunday schools--far better. inds<d. than
the average sunday-sclool library book
