"Remember Jacob Abbott's sensible rule to give children something that
they are growing up to, not away from, and keep down the
stock of children's books to the very best."

CLASSIC JUVENILES

BY JACOB ABBOTT,

"The Prince of Writers for the Young."

"Jacob Abbott's books contain so much practical wisdom concerning the every-day life of children, and so many lessons in honor, truthfulness, and courtesy, that they should not be left out of the libraries of boys and girls."—From "Books for the Young," compiled by C. M. Hewins, Librarian of the Hartford Library Association.
