“Twenty-one charming sketches are included in this little volume. The boys can make an excursion in a balloon, the girls can spend an afternoon in a Christmas card factory, or they can go to another factory and see how numberless women earn their living by making dolls’ shoes. One chapter tells how newspapers are made, another, where and how umbrellas are made, etc., etc. There is a great deal of information to be obtained in this little book, and all in a wonderfully delightful way.”—Christian Observer, Louisville, Ky.
“It is as interesting as fiction.”—Zion’s Herald, Boston.

SIX LITTLE REBELS. 12mo, illustrated by Boz, 1.50.
“This is a story of boys and girls during the first years of our Civil War. The ‘little rebels’ were five boys, brothers and cousins, and a colored servant, a veritable male Topsy, who were sent from Richmond to Washington and placed under the guardianship of a good doctor there, an old friend of their parents.... The story of their pranks and their sorrows, their visits to Boston and summers by the sea in Massachusetts, with the sombre war cloud hanging over all, and giving an undertone of pathos to the narrative, is charmingly told. Glimpses are caught here and there of President Lincoln, General McClellan and other famous persons.”—Worcester Spy.

HOW BENNY DID IT. 12mo, 1.25. (5)
The writer of this story is a business man of long experience, and he was moved to its preparation by a fact which experience had shown him that there is much in currently received business principles—even among those whom we call good men—that is wrong, and so wrong as to be not only injurious to him upon whom, but by whom committed. He places the hero of the story, Bennie Stout, in positions to exemplify this fact, and to show how a boy of good principle and a strong will can not only resist temptation himself, but can even exert an influence over his elders.
