Description
Excerpt from The Child''s Guide to Knowledge: Being a Collection of Useful and Familiar Questions and Answers on Every-Day Subjects Adapted for Young Persons, and Arranged in the Most Simple and Easy Language
It has not been thought advisable to introduce any wood-cuts or engravings, which might take off the attention of children, for whom this little book is professedly designed; and the authoress trusts that the simplicity of the language in which the information is conveyed, renders picture illustration altogether unnecessary; she believes, indeed, they would not add to, but rather detract from, the usefulness of the work.
The authoress cannot conclude this address without expressing the h0pe of meeting that reward for her labour, which of all others will be most acceptable to her, - that of having been instrumental in the improvement of the youthful mind.
