CHILD LIFE IN COLONIAL DAYS
With many illustrations from photographs.
8vo. Cloth. $2.50
"The whole work presents a complete and graphic picture of colonial childhood, that cannot but form a valuable supplementary study for students of American history. At the same time it has much general interest, for child life of any period is interesting, but the interest is doubled when it concerns the formative influences of American ancestry."—New York Times.
"From the scant records of colonial days Mrs. Earle has been enabled to make up a volume that is full of life and variety, and that gives an insight into the beauty and tenderness of family life even under the austere conditions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The portraits of children form a gallery as rare as it is beautiful."—New York Herald.
