| Catalog Notes | "The object of this book is to portray the character of the manly boy--a character that never fails to inspire love and esteem, if only it be natural and genuine."--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 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]. Series statement transposed from head of title page. By "Walter Aimwell" (i.e., William Simonds). Copyright 1856 by Gould and Lincoln. "Electro-stereotyped by G.J. Stiles & Company, 23 Congress Street, Boston."--verso of title page. In blue cloth. Some wood engravings by William Jay Baker and Daniel T. Smith. Publisher's catalogue, [16] p. at end. "Price 63 cents"--p. [1] at end. |
