| Catalog Notes | Series statement transposed from head of title page. "In the story of Ella, the young reader will learn something of the universal duty of growing better. Like the other stories of this series, it is intended for both boys and girls"--Preface, p. [iii]. "'The Aimwell stories' are designed ... to portray some of the leading phases of juvenile character ... by describing the quiet, natural scenes and incidents of every-day life, in city and country, at home and abroad, at school and upon the play-ground, rather than resorting to romantic adventures and startling effects. ... the attempt is also made to mingle amusing, curious and useful information with the useful information with the moral lessons conveyed ... Each volume of the 'Aimwell stories' will be complete and independent of itself, although a connecting thread will run through the whole series."--Advertisement, p. [iv]. By "Walter Aimwell" (i.e., William Simonds). Copyright 1855 by Gould and Lincoln. "Thomas B. Smith, stereotyper and electrotyper, 82 & 84 Beekman-St., N.Y."--verso of title page. In blue cloth.
