Gentlemen: — The package of Charts 

 is just to hand, and I hasten to express 

 my high appreciation of them for ed- 

 ucational purposes. I think I should 

 have gone wild with joy if I had seen 

 such pictures when I was a schoolboy, 

 and now I should like to see the set of 

 Charts in every public school and 

 kindergarten in the United States. 

 They combine beauty and utility in a 

 high degree, should be immensely 

 popular, and make the study of birds 

 a great pleasure. I do not see how 

 entertainment and instruction could 

 have been more happily or effectively 



combined. 



Yours truly, 



DR. ELLIOTT COUES, 



Editor of Osprey. 



" A delightful book for supplementary reading.'''' 



Child-Study of the Classics* 



TALES OF MYTHOLOGY. 



BY GRACE ADELE PIERCE. 



It has long been the opinion of the author of this little book that children 

 should be taught real literature from the beginning; that they should know the 

 names and somewhat of the works of great authors at an early age. 



With this thought and object in view, Child-Study of the Classics has been 

 written. 



In order to prepare the mind of the child for the most profitable reception of 

 the later classics in literature, the author has endeavored to impart, as concisely 

 and attractively as possible, a knowledge of the earlier classics. 



This little volume is beautifully printed on the best quality of paper, fully 

 illustrated, with attractive board binding, making a valuable addition to any list of 

 books for supplementary reading. 



Boards, Illostrated. Price, 40 Cents.
