“Messrs. Appleton & Co. deserve the highest praise for the excellent
manner in which they have `got up' their juvenile library, and we sincerely
hope that its success will be so great as to induce them to make continual
contributions to its treasures. The collection is one which should
be owned by every parent who wishes that the moral and intellectual improvement
of his children should keep pace with their growth in years, and
the development of their physical powers”
