This is the one magazine in the world that combines the best amusement
for babies and the best help for mothers. Dainty stories, tender poems,
gay jingles, pictures beautiful; pictures funny. Large type, heavy
paper, pretty cover. 50 cents a year.
“The publishers, from long experience, have come to understand pretty
accurately what the babies like to look at in the way of pictures, and
what they like to have read to them in the way of stories. And that is
why Babyland is what it is, and why it appeals so strongly to little
eyes and little ears.”—_Boston Transcript._
“A handsome illustrated book. The illustrations are as artistic as if
made for older and more critical readers. We have got away from the old
idea that anything is good enough for children and now demand for them
the best in art and literature. That is the best way to educate them
into the best.”—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
“It is filled with good things that will make the children merrier and
happier.”—_Philadelphia Star._
“What a help and blessing for the tired mother.”—_Farm, Field and
Stockman_, Chicago.
BAINBRIDGE (Lucy S.).
ROUND THE WORLD LETTERS. 12mo, illustrated, 1.50.
“Mrs. Bainbridge’s work is a book for all classes of readers, young or
old, serious or gay. The reader will never forget that his cicerone
“round the world” is a Christian woman, while such is the charm of her
style every reader is fascinated. The book is a brilliant photograph
of the experiences and observations of an intelligent woman in such a
variety of scenes as such a tour as she made implies. The writer is
a keen observer, and has had exceptional facilities for intelligent
observation. The reader will feel that he has gained a wonderfully
clear notion of the whole living and breathing world, while yet he has
been fascinated and entertained as few romances could do it.”—_The
Watchman._
