STORIES OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND HISTORY By Henrietta Christian Wright.
A NEW VOLUME JUST ISSUED.
CHILDREN’S STORIES IN AMERICAN LITERATURE, 1660-1860. 12mo, $1.25.
Miss Wright here continues her attractive presentation of literary history begun in her “Children’s Stories in English Literature.” Elliot, the translator of the Bible into the English language, Irving, Cooper, Prescott, Holmes, Longfellow, Hawthorne, Mrs. Stowe, Whittier, Poe, and Emerson are here considered, bringing the history of the subject down to the period of the Civil War, and treated with constant reference to that side of their works and personalities which most nearly appeals to children.
CHILDREN’S STORIES IN ENGLISH LITERATURE. Two volumes: Talièsin to Shakespeare, Shakespeare to Tennyson. 12mo, each, $1.25.
“It is indeed a vivid history of the people as well as a story of their literature: and, brief as it is, the author has so deftly seized on all the salient points, that the child who has read this book will be more thoroughly acquainted than many a student of history with the life and thought of the centuries over which the work reaches.”—The Evangelist.
CHILDREN’S STORIES OF THE GREAT SCIENTISTS. With portraits. 12mo, $1.25.
“The author has succeeded in making her pen-pictures of the great scientists as graphic as the excellent portraits that illustrate the work. Around each name she has picturesquely grouped the essential features of scientific achievement.”—Brooklyn Times.
CHILDREN’S STORIES OF AMERICAN PROGRESS. Illustrated. 12mo, $1.25.
“Miss Wright is favorably known by her volume of well-told ‘Stories in American History’: and her ‘Stories of American Progress’ is equally worthy of commendation. Taken together they present a series of pictures of great graphic interest. The illustrations are excellent.”—The Nation.
