The Great Round World and What Is Going On In It, Vol. 1, No. 16, February 25, 1897 / A Weekly Magazine for Boys and Girls

by Various

New York, January 23, 1897.
William Beverley Harison, Esq.
Publisher Great Round World.
Dear Mr. Harison:

The conception of The Great Round World magazine appeals to me very strongly. It meets what has always been lacking in the field of reading for the young; current history is of the highest importance to the child, and should be clearly and honestly told. In their book reading, the children have the established facts of history presented in accurate and approved form. The events of to-day, however, which will make possible the chapters of history in the books of another decade, have never been accurately presented in equally agreeable form until the advent of the new magazine. It seems to me, therefore, that it deserves and will have a vigorous growth. I congratulate you on the form of the new magazine, and the careful summary of the news of the world thus far given.

Yours sincerely,
Charles S. Diehl.
