Chapter V: Editions of Standard Books (2)

It is strange that educators and publishers have
not recognized the merits of this work and that it
has not been issued in a well-illustrated form.
Lamb's own estimate of it in a letter to a friend
is right: "Chapman is divine and my abridgement
has not quite emptied him of his divinity."

"Stevenson's Treasure Island." (Pocket Classics Series.) Edited by H. A. Vance. 24mo. Cloth, $.25. Macmillan.

The boy who has read this capital story of
adventure must of necessity have more of Stevenson
and had better try "Kidnapped" next. He may
sometime become absorbed in the wonderful tales of
a favourite of Stevenson himself, Dumas. Listen to
the testimony of Thackeray about the great French
story-teller as it was written in the essay, "On a
Lazy, Idle Boy": "What was the book in the hands
of my lad as he stood by the river shore? Do you
suppose that it was Livy, or the Greek grammar?
No: it was D'Artagnan locking up General Monk in a
box, or the prisoner of the Chateau d'If cutting
himself out of the sack fifty feet under water and
swimming to the island of Monte Cristo. Be assured
the lazy boy was reading Dumas; and as for the
tender pleadings of his mother that he should not
let his supper grow cold--I don't believe the
scapegrace cared one fig. No! Figs are sweet, but
fictions are sweeter."

The great field of realistic fiction will later
open up to the boy, but he must be in no hurry to
enter it. When he does enter it, however, see that
he selects well, and urge him to read in
moderation. He might well start with such books as
"David Copperfield" and "The Mill on the Floss,"
leaving Thackeray untouched for a few years until
he can better appreciate him. With a taste once
formed for any one of these great novelists, he
will stand in little danger from the almost
countless current stories that are always getting
in his way.

It is doubtful if Bible stories in simple language
form are of much value to the boy. If he is too
young to read the language on his own account, the
stories had better be read aloud to him from the
Authorized Version. Then as early as possible let
him cultivate the habit of learning this wonderful
book first hand. Nothing in the field of
literature will serve him better than will this
reading habit.

INDEX TO FIRST LINES OF POEMS

PAGE
A great while ago the world began 58
A life on the ocean wave 130
As I in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow 85
At Flores in the Azores, Sir Richard Grenville lay 122
A wet sheet and a flowing sea 86
Bless the Lord, O my soul 152
Blow, blow, thou winter wind 98
Boats sail on the rivers 38
Boot, saddle, to horse and away 93
By the rude bridge that arched the flood 134
Call for the robin redbreast and the wren 70
Come, dear children, let us away 73
Come follow, follow me 64
Come unto these yellow sands 57
Dainty little maiden, whither would you wander 49
Do you ask what the birds say? the sparrow, the dove 59
Entreat me not to leave thee 55
Faintly as tolls the evening chime 105
Fair Daffodils, we weep to see 89
From gold to gray 119
From Oberon, in fairy land 91
Full fathom five thy father lies 67
God of our fathers, known of old 141
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer 60
Hark, hark, the dogs do bark 33
Hark, hark, the lark at heaven's gate sings 68
Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee 120
He clasps the crag with crooked hands 131
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high 113
How sleep the brave who sink to rest 130
Hush thee, my babby 35
Hush! the waves are rolling in 49
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers 116
I come from haunts of coot and hern 82
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me 46
In winter I get up at night 40
I saw a ship a-sailing 36
I saw you toss the kites on high 56
I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he 108
It was the schooner Hesperus 100
I wandered lonely as a cloud 135
Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way 58
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving 54
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep 35
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn 34
Little Lamb, who made thee 51
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place 132
Minnie and Winnie lived in a shell 50
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold 140
My heart leaps up when I behold 70
Now fades the last long streak of snow 107
Of speckled eggs the birdie sings 37
Oh, hush thee, my babie! thy sire was a knight 63
Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh-ho 44
O Lord, our Lord 79
O Mary, go and call the cattle home 104
Over hill, over dale 69
O wedding-guest! this soul hath been 106
Pack, clouds, away, and welcome day 71
Pease porridge hot 33
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu 117
Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been 33
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair 84
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky 65
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness 137
Sleep, baby, sleep, our cottage vale is deep 34
Sleep, baby, sleep, thy father is tending the sheep 41
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king 53
Sweet and low, sweet and low 47
The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold 111
The cock is crowing 72
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day 146
The friendly cow, all red and white 39
The gorse is yellow on the heath 97
The heavens declare the glory of God 94
The king sits in Dunfermline town 142
The Lord is my shepherd 42
The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year 99
The Northern Star sailed over the bar 96
The rain is raining all around 37
The splendour falls on castle walls 81
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh 65
The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing 90
The world is so full of a number of things 37
The year's at the spring 67
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign 136
Three mice went into a hole to spin 34
Under the greenwood tree 88
Up the airy mountain 52
Up, up, ye dames, ye lasses gay 73
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town 35
What does little birdie say 41
When cats run home and light is come 58
When children are playing alone on the green 61
When daffodils begin to peer 58
Whenever the moon and stars are set 39
When icicles hang by the wall 68
When I was sick and lay a-bed 45
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy 62
Where lies the land to which the ship would go 87
Where the bee sucks, there suck I 57
Whither, 'midst falling dew 139
Who has seen the wind 38
Who is Sylvia? what is she 121
Who would true valour see 115
You spotted snakes with double tongue 47
