LITERATURE AND ART 



With 270 illustrations. 604 pp. 8vo. ^2.50 



Brief accounts of the great books, buildings, statues, pictures, operas, 

 symphonies, etc. 



'* Few poems, plays, novels, pictures, statues, or fictitious character, 

 that children — or most of their parents — of our day are likely to in 

 quire about will be missed here. . . . Mr. Champlin's judgment 

 seems unusually sound — will be welcome and useful." — Nation. 



" Every schoolboy should have it on his study table. . . . The 

 range of the volume is very wide, for besides those items of classical 

 knowledge which constitute the average school encyclopaedia, we 

 have brief descriptions given of modern books, poems, inventions, 

 pictures, and persons about which the lad of the period should be 

 acquainted. . . . The pictures in the volume are varied and truly illus- 

 trative. Old pictures and sculpture are presented in the usual line 

 of drawings, but modern scenes and buildings are pictured through 

 excellent half-tone reproductions of photographs. " — N. V. Times Sat- 

 urday Review. 



"He has covered the ground with great completeness; and, though 

 his notices are necessarily brief, they give the salient facts that bring 

 understanding. ... It may be, too, that its completeness will make 

 it serviceable as a reference book to many of maturer years." — 

 N. Y. Tribune. 



"The four books together would constitute the best sort of a gift 

 for a young person of inquiring mind." — The Dial. 



"A most valuable reference book for schoolboys and -girls.'' — 

 J^ookman. 



"A good book to buy for the young folks and use yourself It 

 contains a great deal of handy information which, unlike the young 

 folks, most of us have had time to forget." — Life. 



' ' A commendable feature is the clear way in which synopses of all 

 the principal operas are given." — Providence Journal.
