Chapter V: Part 5

Text size

HIGGINSON, T.W. (Editor).
Young Folks' Book of American Explorers.
Longmans. 1.20

It has always seemed to me that the narratives of the early
discoverers and explorers of the American coast were as
interesting as Robinson Crusoe, and were, indeed, very much like
it. This has led me to make a series of extracts from these
narratives, selecting what appeared to me the most interesting
parts, and altering only the spelling.... One great thing which I
have wished my readers to learn is the charm of an original
narrative.... The explorers of various nations are represented in
this book. There are Northmen, Italians, Englishmen, Frenchmen,
Spaniards, and Dutchmen.--_Preface._

These original accounts cover the field of American exploration from the discovery of the country by the Northmen in 985 to the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629.

KING, C.F.
Roundabout Rambles in Northern Europe.
Lothrop. 1.25

This very fully illustrated volume gives a conversational account of a trip through Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and (p. 211) Russia. It is an excellent book for children to use while travelling. Mr. King has also prepared several about our own country.

LUMMIS, C.F.
Some Strange Corners of Our Country.
Century. 1.50

Mr. Lummis describes the wonders of the Southwest,--the Grand Canon, the Petrified Forest of Arizona, and the Desert. He tells of the Moquis in their seven seldom visited Pueblo cities, of the Navajos and other Indian tribes, with their strange customs, dances, and magic.

HYGIENE

Life is not mere living, but the enjoyment of health.
MARTIAL.

WOOD-ALLEN, M. (S.).
The Man Wonderful, or The Marvels of Our Bodily Dwelling.
Educational. 1.00

The author in this volume has united metaphor with scientific
facts.... She has laid under contribution the latest scientific
authorities, and believes that this book will be found abreast of
the science of to-day, holding ever to truth as it now presents
itself, and never sacrificing facts to the allegory.--_Preface._

Dr. Wood-Allen uses the simile of a house in explaining in a clear and interesting manner much about our body and its functions. Part Second is devoted to the articles we make use of: those which are (p. 212) beneficial, and especially those which are more or less harmful; as tea, coffee, tobacco, and alcohol.

MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES

"I, Phoebus, sang those songs that gained so much renown,
I, Phoebus, sang them; Homer only wrote them down."

BULFINCH, THOMAS.
The Age of Fable.
Edited by E.E. Hale.
Lothrop. 1.25

This book is an enlarged and revised edition of a book published,
with the same title, by the late Thomas Bulfinch, of Boston, in
the year 1855.... What Mr. Bulfinch wanted to do, and succeeded
in doing, was to connect the old stories with modern literature.
His book, therefore, not only interests young people in the
classical authors, but it turns their attention to many of the
best authors of their own language and of our time.--_Preface._

In the revision the list of poets cited has been increased from forty to sixty-three, and the portion treating of Northern, Oriental, and Egyptian mythologies, rewritten. The illustrations are from classical sources.

POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIES ADAPTED FROM (p. 213) GREAT AUTHORS

And, as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
SHAKSPERE.

NORTON, C.E. (Editor).
Heart of Oak Books. Volume VII.
Masterpieces of Literature.
Heath. .60

The youth who shall become acquainted with the contents of these
volumes will share in the common stock of the intellectual life
of the race to which he belongs; and will have the door opened to
him of all the vast and noble resources of that life.--_Preface._

SCOTT, WALTER.
The Lady of the Lake.
Edited by W.J. Rolfe.
Houghton. .75

The ancient manners, the habits and customs of the aboriginal
race by whom the Highlands of Scotland were inhabited, had always
appeared to me peculiarly adapted to poetry. The change in their
manners, too, had taken place almost within my own time, or at
least I had learned many particulars concerning the ancient state
of the Highlands from the old men of the last generation. I had
always thought the old Scottish Gael highly adapted for poetical
composition.... I had also read a great deal, seen much, and
heard more, of that romantic country where I was in the habit of
spending some time every Autumn; and the scenery of Loch (p. 214)
Katrine was connected with the recollection of many a dear friend
and merry expedition of former days. This poem, the action of
which lay among scenes so beautiful and so deeply imprinted on my
recollections, was a labor of love, and it was no less so to
recall the manners and incidents introduced. The frequent custom
of James IV, and particularly of James V, to walk through their
kingdom in disguise, afforded me the hint of an incident which
never fails to be interesting if managed with the slightest
address or dexterity.--_Introduction to the Edition of 1830._

The Lady of the Lake was first published in 1810. This edition has many notes by Mr. Rolfe.

SCOTT, WALTER.
The Lay of the Last Minstrel.
Edited by W.J. Rolfe.
Houghton. .75

The Poem, now offered to the Public, is intended to illustrate
the customs and manners which anciently prevailed on the Borders
of England and Scotland.... The date of the Tale itself is about
the middle of the sixteenth century, when most of the personages
actually flourished. The time occupied by the action is Three
Nights and Three Days.--_Original Preface._

The Lay of the Last Minstrel was first published in 1805. This edition has many notes by Mr. Rolfe.

SCOTT, WALTER.
Marmion.
Edited by W.J. Rolfe.
Houghton. .75

The present story turns upon the private adventures of a
fictitious character, but is called a Tale of Flodden Field,
because the hero's fate is connected with that memorable (p. 215)
defeat and the causes which led to it.... The poem opens about
the commencement of August, and concludes with the defeat of
Flodden, 9th September, 1513.--_Original Preface._

Marmion was first published in 1818. This edition has many notes by Mr. Rolfe.

SCUDDER, H.E. (Editor).
American Poems.
Houghton. 1.00

Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant, Holmes, Lowell, and Emerson, are represented in this collection by poems with which every American boy and girl should be familiar. The volume, which has biographical sketches and notes by Mr. Scudder, was prepared in the interests of young people, to encourage in them a taste for the best literature. Evangeline, Snow-Bound, Sella, Grandmother's Story, The Vision of Sir Launfal, and The Adirondacks, are included in the contents.

RELIGION AND ETHICS

Hearing thy Master, or likewise the Preacher, wriggle not
thyself, as seeming unable to contain thyself within thy
skin.--_Youth's Behaviour. 1643._

HALE, E.E.
How to Do It.
Little. 1.00

Brimful of well-balanced advice on making life helpful and pleasant to those around us and to ourselves by the avoidance of common errors and the encouraging of agreeable virtues. The familiar friendly (p. 216) style renders this book, which could so easily be made dull, really delightful to young people. How to Talk, How to Go into Society, How to Travel, Life in Vacation, and Habits of Reading, are some of the chapter headings.

SCIENCE, OUT-OF-DOOR BOOKS, AND STORIES OF ANIMALS

To know that which before us lies in daily life is the prime of
wisdom.
MILTON.

ADAMS, J.H.
Harper's Electricity Book for Boys.
Harper. 1.75

A large part of this volume is somewhat beyond the grasp of the average boy of fourteen, and parents should look it over carefully before letting their children carry out the instructions, though we are told that "there need be no concern whatever as to possible danger if the book is read with reasonable intelligence. Mr. Adams has taken pains to place danger-signals wherever special precautions are advisable, and, as a father of boys who are constantly working with electricity in his laboratory, he may be relied upon as a safe and sure counsellor and guide."

Directions are given for making, among other things, push-buttons, switches, annunciators, dynamos, simple telephones, and line and wireless telegraphs. There is a chapter on electroplating. At the (p. 217) end of the volume is an article explaining electric light, heat, power, and traction, by J.B. Baker, technical editor, United States Geological Survey; also a dictionary of electrical terms. Many working diagrams are included.

BAILEY, F.M.
Handbook of Birds of the Western United States.
Illustrated by Louis Agassiz Fuertes.
Houghton. 3.50

Systematically arranged. Descriptions technical but simplified,
and illustrated with cuts in the text, which explain the
technical terms and make it available for students. It has no
color key, but field keys, fully illustrated in the text.
Biographies popularly treated. Intended for students of the life
and habits of the birds of our Western States. The only book of
its character for that region.
AUDUBON SOCIETY.

There are thirty-three full-page plates by Mr. Fuertes, and over six hundred small illustrations. For the use of beginners a brief field color key to genera of some of the common Passerine birds is given in an appendix.

BURROUGHS, JOHN.
Wake-Robin.
Houghton. 1.25

This is mainly a book about the birds, or more properly an
invitation to the study of Ornithology.... I have reaped my
harvest more in the woods than in the study; what I offer, in
fact, is a careful and conscientious record of actual
observations and experiences, and is true as it stands (p. 218)
written, every word of it.... A more specific title for the
volume would have suited me better, but not being able to satisfy
myself in this direction, I cast about for a word thoroughly in
the atmosphere and spirit of the book, which I hope I have found
in "Wake-Robin"--the common name of the white Trillium, which
blooms in all our woods, and which marks the arrival of all the
birds.--_Preface._

The titles of some of the different articles are: In the Hemlocks, The Adirondacks, Spring at the Capital, and The Bluebird.

CHAPMAN, E.M.
Handbook of Birds of Eastern North America.
Appleton. 3.00

Illustrated with full-page plates from photographs, and many cuts
in the text. Systematically arranged; non-technical descriptions;
both field and color keys. A very complete book for general use,
treating all the birds of the section named, with some account of
habits, etc. It has introductory chapters on Ornithology, Methods
of Study, List of Dates of Spring and Fall migration, and a color
chart to help in identification.
AUDUBON SOCIETY.

DITMARS, R.L.
The Reptile Book.
Doubleday. 4.00

Mr. Ditmars, Curator of Reptiles in the New York Zoölogical Park, gives us a comprehensive treatise on the structure and habits of the turtles, tortoises, crocodilians, lizards, and snakes, of the United States and Northern Mexico. There are eight pages of plates in color and one hundred and twenty-eight in black and white, from (p. 219) photographs from life, taken (with six exceptions) by the Author.

In the present work the writer has sought to compile a popular
review of a great fauna--the Reptiles of North America. He has
excluded technical phraseology and tried to produce two results:
1. A popular book, that may be comprehended by the beginner and,
2. A book valuable in its details to the technical
worker.--_Preface._

GIBSON, W.H.
Sharp Eyes.
Harper. 2.50

This rambler's calendar of fifty-two weeks among insects, birds, and flowers, is made attractive to young children by the unusual quality of the many illustrations.

GREENE, HOMER.
Coal and the Coal Mines.
Houghton. .75

It has been the aim of the author to give reliable information
free from minute details and technicalities. That information has
been, for the most part, gathered through personal experience in
the mines.--_Preface._

The composition and formation of coal, its discovery and introduction, are dealt with, and a description of the mine and its dangers, and the life of the workers therein, is given in this thoroughly satisfactory little volume.

HARRINGTON, M.W.
About the Weather.
Appleton. .65

Treated from a broad scientific standpoint, much interesting (p. 220) information is conveyed about the laws which, discovered comparatively recently, have proved of vital importance and utility to mankind. The humidity and pressure of the air, the velocity of the wind, rain and snow, sleet and hail-storms, tornadoes and cyclones, are among the many topics discussed.

HOLLAND, W.J.
The Moth Book.
Doubleday. 4.00

An intelligent boy or girl of fourteen, with a real interest in the subject, will enjoy this fine work on the moths of North America north of Mexico, though it is written more from the standpoint of the student than are most of the series to which it belongs. There are fifteen hundred figures in the forty-eight colored plates, and three hundred black and white text figures, illustrating a majority of the larger species.

JORDAN, D.S., and B.W. EVERMANN.
American Food and Game Fishes.
Doubleday. 4.00

These two distinguished scientists have given in this treatise on ichthyology a popular account of the species found in America north of the Equator, with keys for ready identification, life-histories, and methods of capture. There are ten lithographed plates in color, and sixty-four in black and white from photographs from life taken by (p. 221) Mr. Dugmore, these being the first really successful photographs of live fish ever secured.

KEELER, H.L.
Our Native Trees, and How to Identify Them.
Scribner. 2.00

A guide to the identification of the trees of the United States,
with three hundred and forty illustrations, more than half of
them from photographs. The book is the work of one who is a
tree-lover as well as a botanist, and besides being
scientifically accurate the book has a distinct literary flavor.
Invaluable as an aid to firsthand acquaintance with the
trees.--_Prentice and Power._

The volume is not too large to be easily carried while walking.

LUCAS, F.A.
Animals of the Past.
Illustrated by C.R. Knight and Others.
Doubleday. 2.00

The object of this book is to tell some of the interesting facts
concerning a few of the better known or more remarkable of these
extinct inhabitants of the ancient world.--_Introduction._

"Mr. Knight ... is the one modern artist who can picture
prehistoric animals with artistic charm of presentation as well
as with full scientific accuracy."

While Mr. Lucas did not, in this instance, write for children, they greatly enjoy his descriptions, and are captivated by Mr. Knight's pictures of the strange creatures. There is a very interesting chapter on The Ancestry of the Horse.

"Said the little Eohippus (p. 222)
I am going to be a horse
And on my middle finger-nails
To run my earthly course."

NEWCOMB, SIMON.
Astronomy for Everybody.
Doubleday. 2.00

When a work, by an authority as eminent as Professor Newcomb, is interesting to young people, and is to a sufficient degree within their comprehension, it should certainly be put into their hands, even if, as in the present case, it was not specially prepared for them.

PARSONS, F.T. (S.) (formerly Mrs. W.S. DANA).
How to Know the Ferns.
Scribner. 1.50

This companion to How to Know the Wild Flowers gives in convenient form a great deal of pleasantly told information as to the names, haunts, and habits, of our common ferns. They are arranged in six groups, the classification being based on the frond differences. In almost all cases the nomenclature of Gray's Manual has been followed, and in parentheses, that used in the Illustrated Flora of Britton and Brown is given. Indices to the Latin and English names and to technical terms are included. The many illustrations are helpful.

ROGERS, J.E.
The Shell Book.
Doubleday. 4.00

Every person interested in shells has felt the need of a (p. 223)
manual of the shell-bearing animals of sea and land, comparable
to the comprehensive manuals provided for those who wish to study
birds or insects or trees.... The plan and nomenclature of this
book follow the accepted standard, The Manual of Conchology, by
Tryon and Pilsbry.--_Preface._

Miss Rogers has made an extensive study of conchology on the east and west coasts of North America. The result is this popular guide to a knowledge of the families of living mollusks, which is also an aid to the identification of shells native and foreign. There is a chapter on the maintenance of aquariums and snaileries. Eight of the plates are in color, and ninety-six in black and white for the most part from photographs by A.R. Dugmore.

ROGERS, J.E.
The Tree Book.
Doubleday. 4.00

Most of this volume is devoted to teaching us in an interesting manner how to know the trees of North America. There are, in addition, articles on Forestry, The Uses of Wood, and The Life of the Trees. Sixteen of the plates are in color and one hundred and sixty in black and white from photographs by Mr. Dugmore.

ST. JOHN, T.M.
Wireless Telegraphy.
St. John. 1.00

Theoretical and practical information, together with complete
directions for performing numerous experiments on wireless
telegraphy with simple home-made apparatus.--_Title-page._

SHARP, D.L. (p. 224)
A Watcher in the Woods.
Illustrated by Bruce Horsfall.
Century. .84

These talks about our small animal neighbors are full of descriptive interest, and the accompanying black and white illustrations are beautiful.

Mr. Burroughs says: Of all the nature books of recent years, I look upon Mr. Sharp's as the best.

VOOGT, GOSEWINUS DE.
Our Domestic Animals.
Translated by Katharine P. Wormeley.
Ginn. 3.50

While this large volume gives much information in regard to the habits, intelligence, and usefulness, of those animals which have helped man's civilization forward, the text is not nearly as interesting as it might have been made. The many illustrations, however, are very satisfactory.

STORIES

Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good:
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.
WORDSWORTH.

BULLEN, F.T.
The Cruise of the Cachalot.
Appleton. 1.50

I've never read anything that equals it in its deep-sea (p. 225)
wonder and mystery; nor do I think that any book before has so
completely covered the whole business of whale-fishing, and at
the same time given such real and new sea pictures.
RUDYARD KIPLING.

In the following pages an attempt has been made--it is believed
for the first time--to give an account of the cruise of a South
Sea whaler from the seaman's standpoint.--_Preface._

A strong nor'wester's blowing, Bill!
Hark! don't ye hear it roar now?
Lord help 'em, how I pities them
Unhappy folks on shore now!
WILLIAM PITT.

CHARLES, E. (R.).
Chronicles of the Schönberg-Cotta Family.
Burt. .75

This diary of Reformation days is fictitious, but it serves to bring most vividly before us Luther and the men of his time.

GARLAND, HAMLIN.
The Long Trail.
Harper. 1.25

Develops from a conventional and unpromising opening into a vivid
realistic story of an ambitious youth's perilous journey to the
Klondike. Author writes from personal experience of the overland
route, and principal characters reveal qualities of
unselfishness, perseverance, and pluck.
NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY.

GASKELL, E.C. (S.).
Cranford.
Illustrated by Hugh Thomson.
Macmillan. 1.50

Mrs. Gaskell's masterpiece, which Lord Houghton described as (p. 226) "the finest piece of humoristic description that has been added to British literature since Charles Lamb."

Calm and composure breathe from every page of this picture of life in a small English town during the first half of the nineteenth century. Have we not all in imagination visited Miss Jenkyns and Miss Matty, played preference at Miss Betty Barker's, and helped the Honorable Mrs. Jamieson into her sedan chair? Many girls of fourteen are quite able to appreciate the book's charm.

IRVING, WASHINGTON.
The Alhambra.
Illustrated by Joseph Pennell.
Macmillan. 1.50

It will be strange indeed if these fascinating and romantic tales fail to stir the imagination of any young person who reads them and to arouse in him the laudable ambition of some day seeing for himself the three palaces, the mosque, the chapel, and the halls, of the marvellous Alhambra.

The work was the amusement of his leisure moments, filling the
interval between the completion of one serious, and now all but
unknown, history and the beginning of the next.... And thus his
name has become so closely associated with the place that, just
as Diedrich Knickerbocker will be remembered while New York
stands, so Washington Irving cannot be forgotten so long as the
Red Palace looks down upon the Vega and the tradition of the Moor
lingers in Granada.
E.R. PENNELL.

IRVING, WASHINGTON. (p. 227)
Bracebridge Hall.
Illustrated by Randolph Caldecott.
Macmillan. 1.50

"The reader, if he has perused the volume of the Sketch Book,
will probably recollect something of the Bracebridge family, with
which I once passed a Christmas. I am now on another visit at the
Hall, having been invited to a wedding which is shortly to take
place.... The family mansion is an old manor-house, standing in a
retired and beautiful part of Yorkshire. Its inhabitants have
been always regarded through the surrounding country as 'the
great ones of the earth,' and the little village near the hall
looks up to the squire with almost feudal homage.... While
sojourning in this stronghold of old fashions, it is my intention
to make occasional sketches of the scenes and characters before
me."

The success of Old Christmas has suggested the republication of
its sequel Bracebridge Hall, illustrated by the same able pencil,
but condensed so as to bring it within reasonable size and
price.--_Preface._

IRVING, WASHINGTON.
Old Christmas.
Illustrated by Randolph Caldecott.
Macmillan. 1.50

No one could be better fitted to depict the old customs of an English Christmas than Mr. Caldecott, and his pictures are a perfect accompaniment to this portion of Washington Irving's Sketch Book.

A man might then behold
At Christmas, in each hall
Good fires to curb the cold,
And meat for great and small.

The neighbors were friendly bidden, (p. 228)
And all had welcome true,
The poor from the gates were not chidden,
When this old cap was new.
_Old Song._

IRVING, WASHINGTON.
Rip Van Winkle, and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Illustrated by G.H. Boughton.
Macmillan. 1.50

Irving's two most popular sketches, in which young people delight.

The spirits of this region must have met Washington Irving more
than half way, and the rest was like play to him. How real and
living are all the people of his fancy! Of all the author's
work--serious and humorous ... Rip Van Winkle took the most
immediate and lasting grip of his public.
G.H. BOUGHTON.

IRVING, WASHINGTON.
Rip Van Winkle.
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
Doubleday. 5.00

Five dollars seems to most of us a large sum to pay for a child's book, but after seeing Mr. Rackham's remarkable work I think we shall all agree that there can be no better way of spending our book-money than in purchasing this fine edition of the famous tale, with its fifty full-page pictures in color.

KING, CHARLES.
Cadet Days.
Harper. 1.25

Boys, especially those with military tendencies, will enjoy (p. 229) Captain King's description of life at West Point.

KINGSLEY, CHARLES.
Westward Ho!
Illustrated by C.E. Brock.
Macmillan. 1.50

A glorious tale of the voyages and adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh, a Devon knight of Elizabethan days.

Oh, where be these gay Spaniards,
Which make so great a boast O?
Oh, they shall eat the grey-goose feather,
And we shall eat the roast O!
_Cornish Song._

SCOTT, WALTER.
Ivanhoe.
Macmillan. 1.25

Scott's masterpiece contains, within the compass of a single volume, sufficient material for five or six books of romance. Incident follows upon incident, and holds the reader, young or old, with entranced attention. The period is that of King Richard I.

SCOTT, WALTER.
Kenilworth.
Macmillan. 1.25

The tragic Elizabethan story of Leicester and Amy Robsart. It is not beyond the comprehension of most young people of fourteen.

SCOTT, WALTER. (p. 230)
The Talisman.
Macmillan. 1.25

The scene of The Talisman is in Palestine with Richard Coeur de
Lion and his allies of the Third Crusade. From the contest on the
desert between the Saracen cavalier and the Knight of the
Sleeping Leopard to the final Battle of the Standard it is full
of interest.
CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH.

STEVENSON, R.L.
Kidnapped.
Scribner. 1.50

Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year
1751: How he was Kidnapped and Cast away; his Sufferings in a
Desert Isle; his Journey in the Wild Highlands; his acquaintance
with Alan Breck Stewart and other notorious Highland Jacobites;
with all that he Suffered at the hands of his Uncle, Ebenezer
Balfour of Shaws, falsely so-called.--_Title-page._

VAILE, C.M.
Sue Orcutt.
Wilde. 1.50

In this sequel to The Orcutt Girls Sue continues her education, doing a little literary work meanwhile. Instead of writing, however, as she had planned, her happy marriage opens the way for home occupations. The thread of pleasant romance will, of course, add to the book's attraction for girl readers.

WALLACE, DILLON.
Ungava Bob.
Revell. 1.50

The thrilling adventures of a young trapper in the Labrador and Ungava regions. Incidentally much information is given in an interesting (p. 231) way. Mr. Wallace is well qualified from personal experience to write of this Northern country.

WIGGIN, K.D. (S.).
°The Birds' Christmas Carol.
Houghton. .50

It is only partially true to call this story a sad one, for it is filled from cover to cover with the Christ-like spirit of love and helpfulness. It tells of little Carol Bird, a patient crippled child, who brought sunshine to all those about her, and who touches every heart. The account of the Christmas dinner which Carol herself gave for the nine little Ruggles children is very amusing. After the happy day, while Christmas hymns were sounding, the dear little girl slipped away to her "ain countree."

YONGE, C.M.
The Dove in the Eagle's Nest.
Macmillan. 1.25

Life in the rude days of the Emperor Maximilian I, with scenes in burgh and castle. Under a woman's influence, Schloss Adlerstein is changed from a robber stronghold to an abode of peace.
