The purpose of the Editor of this little Work, has been to adapt it for
the juvenile family circle. The verses have accordingly been written by
the Authoress for the capacity of the youngest readers, and have been
printed in a large bold type. The prose parts of the book, which are
well suited for being read aloud in the family circle, are printed in a
smaller type, and it is presumed that in these our younger friends will
claim the assistance of their older brothers or sisters, or appeal to
the ready aid of their mamma.
