A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Coffin, C. C.

Old Times in the Colonies.
Harper. 2.00

Mr. Coffin's writings are full of reliable historical information, interestingly told. This, the first of a series, takes us from the discovery of San Salvador to the surrender of Montreal to General Amherst, in 1760. There are maps and many illustrations.

Creighton, L. H. (V. G.).

A First History of France.
Longmans. 1.25

There is no reason why history should not be made delightful, though it so often fails in this respect. This little book of Mrs. Mandell Creighton's, with its good maps, and illustrations, many of them from old prints, is truly interesting to children.

Gilman, Arthur.
