The Antiquity of Toys

Up to the present, nothing, with which man
has had to do in the progress and development
of the human race, has changed as little as toys
Ages ago. infantile Egypt played with dolls,
boats. balls, dishes, wagons, miniature horses
and other animals. The little Greeks and Ro-
mans amused themselves with much the same
playthings except for the further possession of
a rattle, which some wise Grecian gentleman
very kindly invented for them.
We know this from the chance words of a few
early writer's, from the sculptures which have
been saved of the different ancient nations which
represent children in the act of playing-and
also from the fact that many small toys, closely
analogous to many toys of today, have been
found in the tombs of children of bygone ages
dolls. balls, boats. tops and tiny dishes added to
