THE JUVENILE MUSEUM; OR, A CHILD'S LIBRARY OF AMUSEMENT AND
INSTRUCTION.--By QUIET GEORGE. Illustrated with numerous Engravings.
_Demy 8vo. cloth, gilt edges, price 3s. 6d._
Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles, Grandfathers,
Grandmothers, Cousins, Godfathers, Godmothers, &c, &c, are informed
that the interesting character of the illustrations, and the boldness
of the type, together with the especial care devoted to its general
getting up, must make this little book an immense favourite with the
children,--for to teach the infant mind through pictures has ever been
held an important step in their education; and to guide their minds
aright it is absolutely necessary that only such books may be put into
their hands as are free from every thought of evil. Childhood being, of
all stages of life, the most important period for the formation and
cultivation of good habits, it behoves all who have the care of youth
to look with suspicion on the kind of mental food offered to their
acceptance. It is better to form the mind of the child, than to reform
the habits of the man.
"Here we have tales, poems, and fables; sketches in history, biography,
natural history, manners and morals, and we know not what beside; with
cuts of birds, beasts, and fishes; remarkable men, and remarkable
places, head-pieces and tail-pieces, and ornamental letters out of
number: every page a picture-gallery, and every picture rendered
instructive and suggestive of good. A capital book! such a treat for
our boys!"--_Maidstone Gazette._
