SUPPLEMENTARY BOOK LISTS
If _Journeys Through Bookland_ is read as we intend, it will occupy no
inconsiderable part of the time boys and girls give to reading. Yet
there will be a call for more books. Some selections from great authors
will create a taste for more from the same writers, and certain pieces
will suggest lines of reading that may profitably extend far beyond the
limits of the present volumes. In fact, this series is meant to be the
stimulus to a lifetime of reading. Some children are naturally readers,
and will require more to satisfy their avid tastes than may be
sufficient for their brothers and sisters, while other children may need
to be helped even beyond the limits covered by our plans. It may be that
some parents will feel uncertain what advice to give their boys and
girls when asked about other books than those indicated in the text. For
such the following lists have been prepared.
At the present day, good libraries are to be found in almost every town,
and either from the school or the town library may be drawn most of the
books mentioned. Books are always good presents, and from these lists
parents who have watched the development of their children's tastes will
find helpful hints in the selection of presents that will be accepted
with joy and read with continued pleasure.
The training these plans for reading have given will excite interest in
the great classics which the quantities of light, frivolous stories
carelessly written for children have in a measure relegated to the
background. These classics are the foundation of literature, and without
a knowledge of them, best obtained in youth, genuine culture seems
almost impossible.
In presenting the lists it has seemed best to make some of them parallel
to the volumes of this work rather than to arrange them by the ages of
the children or their grades in school. The power to read intelligently
and with appreciation is not wholly dependent upon age, nor does rank in
school show the capability of the young person. Some boys of twelve will
read and enjoy things that others of sixteen will find almost
impossible. Not infrequently a little "sixth-grader" reads better
literature than many a high school student. Other lists for older boys
and girls are classified according to subject-matter. The method in
every case is obvious.
This series is for boys and girls of all ages; for girls as much as for
boys. Good literature appeals to universal taste, and there is little
question of sex in it. There was a time when girls were thought so
different from boys that "girls' books" were written in abundance. Now
that girls are given the same education that boys have, they usually
like the same things. There will be found nearly as great extremes of
taste in one sex as in the other during those years to which this set is
adapted. Whatever difference there is in the sexes will manifest itself
in what each selects for his or her own from the masterpiece that both
read. That we get from our reading what we put into it, is as true of us
when we are young as it is when we have grown older. To as great an
extent as Alice is different from Fred will what she gets from reading
_Rab and His Friends_ differ from what he absorbs.
In the books of this series the love story has little place, and into it
sex problems do not enter. Its readers have not reached an age when such
things are of serious moment, and there is enough good literature for
them without dragging in or even admitting stories of passion and those
that make their strongest appeal to the attraction of one sex for
another. However, there is an abundance of sentiment, and the home
feelings are recognized again and again; the love of parents for each
other and for their offspring, the love of brother and sister,
friendship, the pure affection of young people, love of home, of God, of
country, all are subjects of the finest selections the language
contains. Such are to be found in abundance.
In the lists more latitude has been allowed, and while nothing has been
included that may excite anything but the purest emotions, yet room has
been made for many of the great novels that are real studies of the
lives and characters of adults. These books, really written for older
people, will have their message for the young, a message that will be
amplified and perhaps changed entirely, when, after many years, the book
is read again with no lessened interest. _Les Miserables_ was read once
by a young boy whose attention was caught and held so strongly by the
exciting story that he held himself through all the long, prosy
meanderings with which Hugo has delayed the march of his plot. Some
years later the same boy, grown to a college student, read _Les
Miserables_ again with even greater interest. He remembered the story
quite well, but the prosy meanderings had to his broadened intelligence
become wonderful pictures of life, and even the book-long description of
the Battle of Waterloo was fascinating, though its only function in the
story was to say that one man saved another man's life. The boy, now a
man in middle life, read Hugo's masterpiece a third time. Story and
description were now secondary in interest, but the author's deep
insight into human nature, his brilliant style and shrewd, kindly
philosophy held the old reader more closely than had anything before. So
will it be with many of the books in the list. If we are to make
friends, let us meet them as early as we can, see them as often as we
can, and cling to them as long as we can.
In recommending books to children, parents will do well to remember that
books in which young people are not interested will not be read in such
a way as to be profitable. The books in these lists are all interesting
in themselves, and there need be no fear that they will not be read. The
child who has been trained after the manner indicated in these talks
will need little further assistance in mastering these books.

_Volume I_
ÆSOP'S FABLES.
There are many good editions published by the various schoolbook
houses. That edited by J. H. Stickney and published by Ginn &
Co. is as good as any, and contains also a supplement with
fables from La Fontaine and Krilof.
A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES, by _Robert Louis Stevenson_.
The edition illustrated by E. Mars and H. M. Squire and
published by Rand, McNally & Co. is excellent. Jessie Wilcox
Smith illustrates an edition for Charles Scribner's Sons.

The schoolbook houses publish selections in an attractive form;
Blackie and Son, London, a cheap edition.
FAIRY TALES, by _Wilhelm_ and _Jakob Grimm_.
Selections, such as those edited by Sarah E. Wiltse for Ginn &
Co., are better than the complete editions, for many of the
Grimm tales are coarse and valueless.
BLUE FAIRY BOOK and GREEN FAIRY BOOK, by _Andrew Lang_.
Besides some of the Grimm tales these books contain folklore
stories from many nations. Lang has edited other books in this
series, but two are probably enough.
THE ADVENTURES OF A BROWNIE, by _Dinah Maria (Mulock) Craik_.

_Volume II_
While the books mentioned in these lists seem most closely connected to
the volume to which they are ascribed, yet no hard and fast lines can be
drawn. Children will read in the second volume of this set before they
have finished the first, and the books in the lists are suitable
whenever interest is ripe in the kind of literature which the books
contain. Several of the titles given in the list for the first volume
should be considered with the second volume.
WONDER BOOK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS, by _Nathaniel Hawthorne_.
This contains many other stories than those given in these
volumes.
TANGLEWOOD TALES, by _Nathaniel Hawthorne_.
A second wonder book of classic myths. Houghton, Mifflin Co. are

is so much in it for every age. Besides the lyrics children love
so well, there are _Hiawatha_, _Evangeline_, _Miles Standish_
and other poems, which belong to children as well as to the
adults. The Cambridge edition published by Houghton, Mifflin Co.
is a cheap, serviceable book, though the print is necessarily
rather small.
THE WONDERFUL CHAIR AND THE TALES IT TOLD, by _Frances R.
Browne_.
D. C. Heath & Co.
THE BLUE BIRD FOR CHILDREN, by _Maurice Maeterlinck_.

JUST SO STORIES, by _Rudyard Kipling_.
WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN, by _Ernest Thompson Seton_.

This volume contains selections from several books which it is felt will
be read in their entirety by most children. They are:
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS.
Two modern fairy tales by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson). The amusing pictures are by Sir John Tenniel. The
Macmillan Company. These fantastic stories delight everyone who
reads them.

from an abbreviated form in words of one syllable to the
original work in full. W. H. Lambert has edited a school edition
in excellent manner for Ginn & Co.
THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, by _Johann Rudolph Wyss_.
Though not of such literary merit as _Robinson Crusoe_, it is
similar in plot and usually more popular. Ginn & Co. publish a
good, cheap edition, edited by J. H. Stickney.
ARABIAN NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENT.
The complete editions are not suitable for children to read, but
the edition edited by Andrew Lang is excellent. Several
schoolbook houses publish good selections, including the most
popular tales.
Besides the books mentioned in the lists for Volumes I and II, the
following might be suggested here:
THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of _John Greenleaf Whittier_.
Houghton, Mifflin Company's Cambridge edition is perhaps the
best. Whittier did not write as much for children as Longfellow
did, but his _Snow-Bound_ is a classic that every child will
love if he is helped a little in reading it. Other poems will
appeal to the older members of the family.
THE BOOK OF LEGENDS TOLD OVER AGAIN, by _Horace E. Scudder_.
Houghton, Mifflin Co. _The Flying Dutchman_, _St. Christopher_,
_William Tell_, and _The Wandering Jew_ are some of the names.

story of the Revolution. There are other books in a similar vein
by the same author.
THE STORY OF THE GREEKS,

an interest in the history of those peoples and at the same time
give information valuable in reading literature. All are
published for school use by the American Book Company.
CHILD'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND, by _Charles Dickens_.
This book is always interesting to children, and is such good
reading that we need not feel afraid of Dickens' inexactness and
apparent prejudices. Read it as literature, not so much as
history.
BIRDS AND BEES, SHARP EYES AND OTHER PAPERS, by _John Burroughs_.
Houghton, Mifflin Co. Though this may seem rather hard reading
to some, it is delightful literature, and full of good lessons
in observation for children. Other books by the same author are

World Book Co.
THE MAGIC FOREST, by _Stewart Edward White_.

Hamilton Gibson. Harper and Bros. They are as interesting and as
charmingly written as any of the multitudinous nature books.

Illustrated by Alfred Kappes. Charles Scribner's Sons.
THE VISION OF SIR LAUNFAL, by _James Russell Lowell_.

entertaining.

by _Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens)_. Harper and Bros. The

Little, Brown & Co. The style and language are mature, but the
story is one of the best lessons in patriotism ever written.
_Volume VI_
TALES OF A GRANDFATHER, by _Sir Walter Scott_.
An abridged edition, published by Ginn & Co., contains the best
tales, but many children will like them all.
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
An excellent book for young people on account of its interest
and its clear literary style. An edition by Houghton, Mifflin
Co., contains a sketch of Franklin's life subsequent to the time

THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS of _Oliver Wendell Holmes_.
Cambridge edition of Houghton, Mifflin Co. _The Grandmother's

for Washington's Birthday_, _Old Ironsides_, _Lexington_ and
others have historical value. The humorous poems like _The
One-Hoss Shay_, _How the Old Horse Won the Bet_, and such
beautiful poems as _The Chambered Nautilus_ and _The Last Leaf_
always appeal to young folks.
THE SPY, by _James Fenimore Cooper_.
This is a thrilling story of the Revolution.
THE PILOT, by _James Fenimore Cooper_.

the men of his court.

boy life.
_Volume VII_

vein of the fascinating author.

This is usually considered the masterpiece of the author.
A TALE OF TWO CITIES, by _Charles Dickens_.

terrible happenings, and rather mature.
THE LADY OF THE LAKE, and
MARMION, by _Sir Walter Scott_,
the two best of his longer poems, rarely fail to interest young
people.
TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE, by _Charles and Mary Lamb_.
THE TEMPEST,
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, and
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE,
are the three Shakespearean plays that first interest children.
Care should be taken in the selection of the edition, as none of
the plays in their original form are suitable for children.
School editions with notes are excellent. _The Tempest_ is
printed in Volume VIII of this set, and is deferred to that
point on account of the very full notes and comments that
accompany it. The play itself may be read quite early, and
children should be encouraged to try their skill on Shakespeare
as soon as they show signs of interest.
UNDINE, by _Baron de la Motte Fouqué_,
is a beautiful fairy tale from the German, with interest for
older children than those who read Andersen and Grimm.
PLUTARCH'S LIVES.
White's _Boys' and Girls' Plutarch_ is recommended. The lives of
Brutus, Julius Cæsar, Themistocles, Pericles and Alexander are
among the more interesting.
THE BURNING OF ROME, by _A. J. Church_,
is a thrilling story of that event.
CUORE, by _Edmondo De Amicis_.
The journal of an Italian schoolboy. Useful and moral, but not
always interesting to American boys.
IN HIS NAME, by _Edward Everett Hale_.
A tale of religious persecution.
THE PEASANT AND THE PRINCE, by _Harriet Martineau_.
An intensely interesting picture of France just before the
Revolution.
PICCIOLA, by _X. B. Santine_.
A touching story whose scene is laid in France in the time of
Napoleon.
LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE, by _J. and J. C. Abbott_.
THE ILIAD, _Bryant's_ translation.
_Classified Lists_
When boys and girls can read the first seven volumes of this set
intelligently and with pleasure they are thinking for themselves. Their
tastes are forming rapidly, and they have learned how to read nearly
everything that comes to them. They know how to use reference books, and
can "make out the meaning" of difficult passages. They are reading for
information and culture. What they lack is experience in life, and so
they are unable to interpret what they read as fully as can those who
have lived longer, seen more of the world, enjoyed more, suffered more.
Where they are liable to fail and go astray is in the lack of judgment.
They know right and wrong, but they cannot always see the difference.
They are apt to be misled by their feelings and to be ruled by their
emotions.
The studies and selections of the last three volumes are varied and
highly suggestive. They will open new lines of thought and prompt to
wider reading in many directions. The contents vary in difficulty as in
character, but are not graded in a strict sense of the term. They are
meant for independent readers, readers who are governed by mood or
purpose and no longer rely upon outside guidance.
Accordingly, lists of books suitable for readers of these volumes will
cover every department of literature and lead into the reading favored
by adults. The majority of these lists deal with literature. They
contain the names of those books which are distinctly helpful, and from
which young readers may derive nothing to corrupt taste or give false
impressions of life. They are the standard books of the language. The
lists might have been longer; they do contain, however, the names of
those best books that every cultured person should know. For convenience
in reference the arrangement is the alphabetical order of authors'
names.
Fiction
AINSWORTH, WILLIAM HARRISON: _The Tower of London_, the story of
Lady Jane Grey, and the plots and intrigues that centered about
her.
ALCOTT, LOUISA M.: _Little Men_ and _Little Women_, two interesting
and thoroughly wholesome books for boys and girls.
AUSTEN, JANE: _Pride and Prejudice_, an old-fashioned story,
interesting, but liable to be called dull by those who read only
the lively stories of the day.
BLACKMORE, R. D.: _Lorna Doone_, a delightful romance, the scene of
which is laid in Exmoor, England, in the beginning of the
eighteenth century.
BULWER-LYTTON, SIR EDWARD: _The Last Days of Pompeii_, the author's
greatest novel; _The Last of the Barons_, the story of the Earl
of Warwick; _Harold, The Last of the Saxons_, a tale of the
Norman Conquest of England.
DOYLE, A. CONAN: _The White Company_, an exciting fourteenth
century story.
ELIOT, GEORGE: _Silas Marner_, an intensely human story, a heart
history; _Romola_, a thrilling story of Florence in the days of
Savonarola, a study in the degeneration of character that comes
from doing only the agreeable things in life.
GOLDSMITH, OLIVER: _The Vicar of Wakefield_, an amusing and at
times pathetic picture of English country life in the eighteenth
century.
HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL: _The Scarlet Letter_, a tale of sin and its
punishment in Puritan New England; _The Marble Faun_, an Italian
story full of the art and culture of Rome.
HUGO, VICTOR: _Les Miserables_, one of the greatest novels of the
world, but its digressions and its philosophy make it difficult
reading for the young. Interesting abridgements of it may be had
from the schoolbook houses.
SAINT PIERRE, BERNARDIN DE: _Paul and Virginia_, a pretty love
story from the French.
SCOTT, SIR WALTER: _Kenilworth_, a tale of the days of Queen
Elizabeth; _Old Mortality_, a story of the Covenanters; _Guy

Dominic Sampson and others of Scott's most famous characters;
_The Heart of Midlothian_, a tale of sin and its punishment,
with a wonderful picture of a sister's love and devotion.
STOWE, HARRIET BEECHER: _Uncle Tom's Cabin_, an interesting story,
but like most books written for partisan purposes, its influence
is not now wholesome.
THACKERAY, WILLIAM MAKEPEACE: _Henry Esmond_, _Pendennis_ and _The
Newcomes_ may be read in the order named. _Vanity Fair_ is
better appreciated by adults.
TWAIN, MARK: _Tom Sawyer_ and _Huckleberry Finn_, two stories whose
fun every boy will appreciate.
WALLACE, LEW: _Ben Hur, a Tale of the Christ_. An admirable
historical novel.
Poetry and Drama
BROWNING, ROBERT: Besides the poems given in these books, _The Lost
Leader_ and _Rabbi Ben Ezra_ are enjoyed by boys and girls.

Mountain Boys_, _Thanatopsis_, _Sella_, _The Death of the
Flowers_, _The Planting of the Apple Tree_ and _Robert of
Lincoln_ are among his best poems.
SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM: _Julius Cæsar and Coriolanus_, two plays
based on Roman history and excellent for reading purposes;
_Richard II_ (1398-1399), _Henry IV_ (1402-1413), _Henry V_
(1414-1420), _Henry VI_ (1422-1471), _Richard III_ (1471-1485),
all based on English history; _As You Like It_, a great comedy;
_Hamlet_ and _King Lear_, perhaps the two greatest tragedies.
All these are excellent reading, especially in such an edition
as the _Temple Classics_. Other plays may well be read, but
everyone should know the foregoing list.

EMERSON, RALPH WALDO: _The American Scholar_, _Self-Reliance_,
_Culture_ and _Behavior_ may be read with profit by the young,
even if they do not fully understand the philosophy.

books edited by Hale. They contain selections from the writings
of George William Curtis, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Washington
Irving, James Russell Lowell, Addison, Goldsmith, Lamb and
Thackeray.

charming series of talks which embody the best of Holmes's wit,
wisdom and philosophy. One of those things everybody must read.

as _Rip Van Winkle_ and _The Legend of Sleepy Hollow_, as well
as a number of fine essays for later reading.

difficulty, this book contains some of the most inspiring words
ever spoken on books and reading.

delightful little collection that young people will enjoy and
that has fine literary qualities. Houghton, Mifflin Co.
Nature

_Excursions in Field and Forest_.
Biography
FABRE, JEAN-HENRI: _Our Humble Helpers_, familiar talks on the
domestic animals. The Century Co.

other histories by the same writer, is a long and brilliant
account, full of interest to the older youths who have a taste
for history.
PARKMAN, FRANCIS: _La Salle and the Northwest_, _The Conspiracy of
Pontiac_, and _Montcalm and Wolfe_ are three histories of a
brilliant series on the French explorations and colonizations in
the Northwest. Parkman is one of our finest historical writers,
and his graphic style has given many a young man a deep interest
in history.
PRESCOTT, WILLIAM HICKLING: _The Conquest of Mexico_ and _The
Conquest of Peru_ are two interesting histories of the longer
type, written in an interesting style that many youths will
enjoy. Prescott's work lies with the Spanish, as Motley's with
