About This Book

Practical guidance for selecting wholesome, age-appropriate reading for children, youth, and adults, arranging recommendations by audience—little ones, school classes, boys, drawing-room readers—and by subjects such as scripture, history, biography, natural history, science, mythology, fairy tales, and allegory. The text stresses the value of school and parish libraries, cultivating literary taste to deter harmful reading, and choosing books that support moral and educational aims. It also offers suggestions for mothers’ meetings, missionary working-parties, communal readings, and annotated lists with notes on suitability and instructional use.

“Mr. Arthur writes in an eminently lucid and forcible style, and it is much to be wished that Mr. Spencer’s disciples would give this volume a candid reading. We would strongly recommend the book as an antidote for those who have been distressed themselves, or have seen distress in others, by reason of Mr. Spencer’s speculations.”—Literary Churchman.

THE SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT. Sketches of the Life of Mr. Samuel Budgett. By William Arthur.

BRIDE PICOTÉE. By the Author of “The Atelier du Lys.” With Illustrations by W. L. Jones. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, price 3s. 6d.

“This is a charming little French story. We have not read for many years a tale of greater beauty and simplicity than ‘Bride Picotée.’”—Spectator.

MISS JEAN’S NIECE. By the Author of “Bride Picotée,” “Atelier du Lys,” “In the Olden Time,” &c. With Illustrations by W. L. Jones. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, price 3s. 6d.

“This is a well-written, clever, and touching story, and well suited as a gift-book for young people.”—Glasgow Herald.

“Full of that freshness and delicate feeling which readers of ‘Bride Picotée’ will be prepared to find. A word of praise is due to the taste shown in the matter of paper, printing, and binding. As a present for a young girl fortunate enough to have preserved a liking for non-sensational fiction, we have seen no book more eminently suitable than this.”—Saturday Review.

PLEASANT TALKS ABOUT JESUS: Half-hours with the Children. By John Colwell. Crown 8vo. cloth, price 2s. 6d.

“The contents are very good indeed, and will be very helpful to mothers who are striving to bring up their children in the love of God and of Christ.”—Church Bells.

MR. BARTRAM’S DAUGHTER. By C. J. Hamilton, Author of “The Flynns of Flynville” &c. Illustrated. Crown 8vo. cloth, price 3s. 6d.

“A pleasant, wholesome tale of English social life. It is not often that every-day personages and incidents are described with so much insight and realism. There are clever portraitures of clerical character, and peeps into the society of a small cathedral city, and there is a sweet love episode, which, after some storms and interruptions, ends in married happiness, as all readers of well-constituted mind would wish it to end.”—Scotsman.
