POPE'S HOMER'S ODYSSEY,
Adapted for Schools.
With Introduction and Notes.
Of the suitableness of Homer for children, we shall quote the opinion of the greed German scholar, Niebuhr. "What wisdom there is in Homer! … I know no story except 'Robinson Crusoe' which fascinates a child so much as Homer. It is all natural, simple, and capable of being understood by a child. And then how well does he not prepare for all the knowledge of antiquity without which we cannot now get along. How many thousand things and sayings does the child not understand at once, by knowing that great poem. The whole Odyssey is the finest story for a child."
