CHAMPLIN’S YOUNG FOLKS’
Cyclopædia of Literature and Art
With 270 illustrations. 604 pp. 8vo. $2.50
Brief accounts of the great books, buildings, statues, pictures, operas, symphonies, etc.
“Few poems, plays, novels, pictures, statues, or fictitious characters that children—or most of their parents—of our day are likely to inquire about will be missed here.... Mr. Champlin’s judgment seems unusually sound—will be welcome and useful.”—Nation.
“Every schoolboy should have it on his study table.... The range of the volume is very wide, for besides those items of classical knowledge which constitute the average school encyclopædia, we have brief descriptions given of modern books, poems, inventions, pictures, and persons about which the lad of the period should be acquainted.... The pictures in the volume are varied and truly illustrative. Old pictures and sculpture are presented in the usual line of drawings, but modern scenes and buildings are pictured through excellent half-tone reproductions of photographs.”—N. Y. Times Saturday Review.
