| Catalog Notes | "The following little work is on the plan of Berquin's Children's friend, and consists of original stories and dialogues, with occasionally a familiar letter. ... There are many striking points of dissimilarity between the habits and manners of the children of American and those of England, to which country we have hitherto been indebted for nearly all our juvenile books of amusement. These books, excellent as most of them are, abound in allusions and localities which are often unintelligable to their young readers on this side of the Atlantic. The writer of the subsequent pages has endeavoured to compose a work essentially American ... with reference to the ideas of American children and to the manners in which they are educated. Some of the incidents were suggested by real facts"--Advertisement, p. [iii]-iv. By Eliza Leslie. Copyright 1828 by Munroe & Francis.
