Descrizione Ebook Young Folks' Readings
Three volumes of "Public and Parlor Readings" have already been given to the public, and have met a cordial reception. Now comes the demand for something adapted to younger minds. Accordingly this book has been prepared. The range of pieces it contains will be found suitable for young persons from ten to sixteen years of age. Yet, while there is little or nothing here which may not be fully appreciated by the "Young Folks," we feel confident that adults will derive equal pleasure from the use of the pieces in their public and private entertainments.
We are gratified to see on every hand indications that reading is more and more appreciated as a graceful and elegant accomplishment, and a source of enjoyment in the social circle and public assembly. It only needs that this growing taste should he properly cultivated to make the art of reading a powerful means of moral and esthetic culture. without losing a whit of its value as a delightful amusement.
