THIS LITTLE WORK
IS DESIGNED TO ADAPT
MRS. STOWE'S TOUCHING NARRATIVE
TO THE UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE YOUNGEST READERS
AND TO FOSTER IN THEIR HEARTS
A GENEROUS SYMPATHY FOR THE
WRONGED NEGRO RACE OF AMERICA.
The purpose of the Editor of this little Work, has been to adapt it for the juvenile family circle. The verses have accordingly been written by the Authoress for the capacity of the youngest readers, and have been printed in a large bold type. The prose parts of the book, which are well suited for being read aloud in the family circle, are printed in a smaller type, and it is presumed that in these our younger friends will claim the assistance of their older brothers or sisters, or appeal to the ready aid of their mamma.
