A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

White, J.S. (Editor).

The Boys' and Girls' Plutarch.
Putnam. 1.75

Plutarch wrote a hundred books and was never dull. Most of these have been lost, but the portions which remain have found, with the exception of Holy Writ, more readers through eighteen centuries than the works of any other writer of ancient times.--Introduction.

If any substitute for a full translation is desired, this abridgment will serve. It is illustrated.

Wright, H.C.

Children's Stories of the Great Scientists.
Scribner. 1.25

Miss Wright's language is picturesque and interesting. These sixteen chapters on the famous scientists from Galileo to Darwin and Huxley will fascinate intelligent children.

Zimmern, Alice.

Greek History for Young Readers.
Longmans. 1.00

A simple, scholarly history; the English excellent. There are maps and many uncommonly good illustrations.
