Some Pen Pictures of Scenes Which Took Place Previous to, or Connected With, the American Revolution
By HELEN M. CLEVELAND, Profusely illustrated, Large, 12mo, Cloth, $1.25
It is a book for every library, a book for adults, and a book for the young. Perhaps no other book yet written sets the great cost of freedom so clearly before the young, consequently is such a spur to patriotism.
"It can unqualifiedly be commended as a book for youthful readers; its great wealth of illustrations adding to its value."--_Chicago News._

We have here a most valuable book, telling not of the childhood of those who have afterwards become famous, but those who as children are famous in history, song, and story. For convenience the subjects are grouped as "Royal Children," "Child Artists," "Learned Children," "Devoted Children," "Child Martyrs," and "Heroic Children," and the names of the "two little princes," Louis XVII., Mozart, St. Genevieve, David, and Joan of Arc are here, as well as those of many more.
