Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Evenings at Home: Or, the Juvenile Budget Opened In presenting to the American public this new and beautiful edition ot a work that has been established as a favourite for nearly half a century, the publishers do not think it needful to enlarge upon its merits, or to point out the attractions which have secured for it a popularity so universal and long continued. Fifteen editions in England, and probably an equal or greater number in this country, have already borne testimony in that behalf, much stronger than any praises which they can bestow. Yet they may be permitted briefly to suggest a comparison between this charming specimen of the good old school, and most of the illustrated works that have recently been brought out in such profusion, professedly for the entertainment and instruction of youth; works, in the majority of which there is exhibited so little of that peculiar talent required for imparting instruction with entertainment, and so little judgment in the choice of subjects, as well as in the manner of dealing with them. The great defect of these books - at least the greater portion of them - is the total want of pure and unaffected simplicity; the principal characteristic of well trained youth, and therefore indispensable in everything designed for youthful readers.
