FOUR WORTHIES
P—This enduring form of literature may be read in almost any grade. The edition is to be determined largely by the grade for which it is designed. In point of effectiveness in showing human experiences and weaknesses by means of animal action, the classic fable has never been equalled by any other form of literature. He would be a rash man who would claim that Lincoln owed to Euclid more of his power to think out a question and carry his point than he did to Æsop. Fables are imaginative literature, and in that lies their power rather than in their didactic assertion that later became attached as a moral to be pointed. They need but one moral, as G. K. Chesterton so aptly observes; for nothing in this world has more than one moral.
*"The Fables of Æsop." Selected and told anew by Joseph
Jacobs. Illustrated by Richard Heighway. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50. In the New Cranford Series. Macmillan.
Good for younger children, but should be printed without
notes and advertisements.
*"Æsop's Fables." Illustrated by Arthur Rackham, in colour-plates.

edition, except the poor binding, for older children.
The introduction by G. K. Chesterton is very readable
for grown-ups.

Sir Roger L'Estrange with an introduction by Kenneth
Grahame and illustrations by Percy J. Billinghurst. Square

G—"Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World"
Though abridged texts are generally a presumption and a blunder, there is little warrant for school children's having more than the first two voyages, to Lilliput and to Brobdingnag, of this remarkable book. An expurgated edition is probably necessary in an age accustomed to a cloak of conventional insinuation in a story rather than to the blunt frankness that obtained in the times of Swift.
