“Without doubt, it is the most complete, systematic and painstaking work of its kind extant. It is certainly unique in its sphere, presenting in convenient and readable form a vast amount of information regarding child life. It should meet with great favor at the hands of those for whom it was written.” Irving King.

“There are special chapters that deserve special mention, some because of their merit, such as those treating of ‘Memory,’ ‘Imagination,’ ‘Conception,’ and ‘Reasoning,’ and the chapter on the various forms of ‘Movements’; and others, especially those chapters that deal with the so-called physical nature of the child, that might, with advantage, be replaced in the text or even rewritten.” D.

Tapp, Sidney C. Story of Anglo-Saxon institutions; or, The development of constitutional government. [**]$1.50. Putnam.
“While Mr. Tapp’s book runs along special lines, it is intended for the general reader as well as for the specialist. The writer’s purpose has been to demonstrate from historical facts that the Anglo-Saxon race is the only race that has ever had a true conception of republican institutions, or solved correctly the problem of self-government. It is only fair to say that Mr. Tapp has accomplished his purpose in this book.”—Critic.

[*] Tappan, Eva March, tr. Golden goose, and other fairy tales; tr. from the Swedish. [†]$1. Houghton.
Six fairy tales from Scandinavian sources told in simple language. “‘The golden goose,’ which gives the name to the book, is little Rose, the beautiful daughter of a king, whose stepmother, after much cruel treatment, has turned her into a goose.... There is the story of a giant, the roof of whose house was made of sausages; of the good little girl, and the bad in ‘The red and the black box.’ ... There is the simple-minded giant who killed himself, not to be outdone by a small boy, and other stories, all with excellent pictures in black and white, full pages and text, with interesting head pieces.” (N. Y. Times.)
[*] “Told in an interesting manner.”
