APPLETONS^ HOME-READING BOOKS. 



Edited by W. T. HARRIS, A. M., LL. D., U. S. Commissioner 



of Education* 



The purpose of the Home-Reading Books is to provide whole- 

 some, instructive, and entertaining reading for young people during 

 the early educative period, and more especially through such means 

 to bring the home and the school into closer relations and into more 

 thorough cooperation. They furnish a great variety of recreative 

 reading for the home, stimulating a desire in the young pupil for 

 further knowledge and research, and cultivating a taste for good litera- 

 ture that will be of permanent benefit to him.
