http://archive.org/(^i^iils/selectionof500bo00wand It is hoped that this list may be an aid in the selection of books for young people. The annotations are intended to be des- criptive rather than critical. The sources of these are given; unsigned notes are by the compiler.
Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon, and the date is separated from these by a semicolon; e. g., Dial 26:162;
March 1, 1899 means Dial, volume 26, page 162 of the issue of
March 1, 1899. In some cases a second reference has been given, when it was thought that it would add something definite in the description of the book.
Publishing firm are denoted by the names of the first mem- bers. The date following this is intended to be the date of the latest edition in each case.
Books starred were found in the lists of "Best books 1* for
1897, 1898 and 1899, prepared by the New York state library.
The proportion of books in each class is as follows:
Amusements and occupations, 4-l/5$ Biography, 7-4/5$ Fairy tales, etc., 16 $ Fiction, 19-l/5$ Fine arts, 3/5$ Government and administration 4/5$ History ( including histor- ical fiction), 23-4/5$ Picture books, 3 $ Poetry, 4-l/5$ Religion and ethics, 1 $ Science, 10-4/5$ Travels, etc., 8-3/5$
The following list contains the principal abbreviations used; other abbreviations are self-explanatory.

Dodd, 1898. |1.50 The "Golden Legend", with its admirable pictures by Mr. T. H. Robinson, would have interest for us if only because it was "W. v.» But in itself there is an exquisite beauty. It is made up of tales of the saints and martyrs told as a poet might tell them to a child he loved. He makes these austere heroes more fascinating than fairies, more beautiful than prin- cesses, and very human. Yet he is true to the simple old legends and the hidden significance of them becomes visible in his hands. . Dial 25:408; Dec. 1, 1898. Church, Alfred J. Stories from the Bible. 2V.

Government & Administration. Alton, Edmund Bailey. Among the law-makers. Scribner, 1886. f /.50 It was an excellent idea of E. B. Alton, formerly a page in the U. S. Senate, to tell the story of his life as a page... and publish it... for the benefit of the boys of America. ..It is written for boys, but most adults can read it with profit, for the rules and proceedure of Congress are a deep mystery to the rest of the world. It contains a graphic picture of the actual administration of our Government ... There are very few phases of public life in Washington which are not described here with more or less fullness. Nation 43:505; Dec. 16, 1886. Brooks, Elbridge s. The century book for young Americans. Century, 1894. #1.50 ...Under the guidance of a well informed and kindly disposed uncle, a party of young people visit Washington to study the workings of the Government. The conversation of the tourists introduces without effort the historical cause for the creation of the different governmental departments, and the functions of each. The book is enlivened by glimpses of social life of the capital, and by excursions to Mount Vernon, Arlington, and other points of romantic interest .. .Excellent portraits.. .fiimbellish the work. .

Harper, 1884. ^>\,%'s The object of this little work... is to explain in simple language, and by familiar illustrations fitted for the compre- hension of boys and girls, the meaning and limits of liberty, law, and government, and human rights, and thus make inteligible to them the political printiples on which our system of government is founded. ..A3 a volume of advice on the leading political questions. . .it may be highly commended...

This ±a a helpful book for young people Lit. World 30:29; Jan. 21, 1899. Awdry, Mrs. W. Early chapters in science. Dutton, 1899. $2.00 •..being a first book of knowledge of natural history, botany, physiology, physics, and chemistry for young people. The purpose of the author is to teach the„boy or girl, first to observe, and second to question. It is wide field the author has attempted to cover, but with the aid of the scientific ex- perts into whose hands the manuscript was placed, there need be no doubt of its accuracy as there certainly can be none of its attractiveness. That child must be dull indeed who does not find a charm in these pages. There are scores of ill\lstrations from a primrose and a bird's egg to a suction pump and voltiVc battery. Lit. World 30:156; May 15, 1899. Ball, Sir Robert Stanwell. Star-land; talks with young people about the wonders of the heavens. Ginn, 1891. $1.00 It would be hard to find a pleasanter road to astronomical knowledge. . .Its simple story-book style has not interfered with the scientific accuracy nor excluded the consideration of many obscure and not generally understood matters. From the somewhat familiar lore of sun, moon, and inner planets, the author has passed on to include such. . .subjects as how Neptune was disco- vered, how we find the distances of the stars, and what they are made of...When an author succeeds in making clear and fascin- ating stories out of such themes, he is entitled to very high praise, and the present work is quite a masterpiece of this art...

Especial attention has been given to the rearing of the mature insect from the cocoon, the characteristics of the chrysalides, and the distinctive manners and habits of the various caterpillars and their parasites. . .Mrs. Ballard success- fully avoids technicalities on the one hand and the trashy style affected by some, ..writers for the young, on the other... nation 51:469; Dec. 11, 1890. -^Baskett, James N.

Doubleday, 1897. #2.00 ...It is furnished with an introduction by Mr. John Bur- roughs who vouches for the accuracy of the work in this science in which his word is final. The author has not attempted a profound study of the subject; her object is rather to furnish a guide for the uninitiated and the amateur. She writes of one hundred and fifty of our most frequent feathery visitors, clas- sifying them first by color, and describing clearly and briefly their tricks and manners. Her talk about them has vivacity and charm, and shows that she knows her world not only with the head but with the heart . .

The first story tells the unfortunate fate of a little girl who wished to have Christmas every day; her wish was granted her by a wise fairy. The story of "The pony-engine and the Pacific express," is perhaps the most ingenious of the five, but "The pumpkin-glory", "Turkeys turning the tables", and "Butterfly flutterby and Plut- terbybutterfly" are all tales told with a finish and point which older readers will appreciate thoroughly.

This story of the slums is the biography of the humpbacked son of a wandering flute-player; yet ...there is no sniffling, no exageration of the inevitable pathos ...Tony himself is a creation, a real boy; and they are very genuine emotions and imaginings and heartaches to which we are bluntly introduced.

The girls at Miss Russell's are, for girls, very much like their brothers in boys' schools: they play pranks upon one another, some of them delight in breaking bounds, some of them talk slang - alasi... as for the Snowy Owl, the Fluffy Owl and the Horny Owl, they are girls well worth knowing. .

When Estabel is fifteen her city Aunt, Mrs. Olymer, claims her for her own, and a long vista of joy opens to the young girl - an education, the delights of books, art, music, etc. The story does not stray very far from the home, nd the homely incidents, Mrs. Whitney knows so well how to portray. It has its romance, and ends with a prospective marriage. The heroin^ illustrates, with her own little problems, the impossibility of putting square pegs into round holes.

Button, 1900. #1.00 This is a little book; there are "but fev; over one hundred pages of it; but its interest is out of all proportion to its size. The interest is that of a unique, striking and familiar personality, depicted and illustrated with cleverness, frankness and detail. Lewis Carroll was the Rev. C. L. Dodgson, best known as the author of "Alice's adventures in Wonderland". Miss Ida Bowman is his niece, and was the little girl, the com- panion of his walks and talks, when he was off mathematical duty at Oxford, for whose pleasure Alice was invented.

True story of Benjamin Franklin. Lothrop, 1898. #1.50 So familiar and conversational a style as his seems unneces- sary even for very little children. Yet the story of Franklin cannot be told too early or too often, and this gossipy biography, with its many good pictures, may serve to introduce the man and and his achievements to some children who would be bored by a more connected and rational account.

The route lies up the Nile to the Albert and Victoria Lakes thence across to Tabora and thence... to the east coast and Zanzibar.

Mr. Lummis describes the terrible rattle-snake dance and the grand canon of the Colorado with equal vigor; and whether he is writing of the habits of the Indians among whom he lived, or the magnificence of the Southwestern scenery he will be equally impressive to boys and girls.

To Greenland and the pole; a ntory of adventures in the Arctic regions. Scribner, 1895. $1.50 It is pleasant to meet with a story of adventure for boys that can be so heartily recommended as this. Though there is no lackof exciting incidents, they are never of so improbable a- sort as to verge on the impossible; and indeed many of the Arctic experiences are dr*wn from the author* s own journals. The youthful heroes do not imperil their own lives, and others as well, by willfulness or insubordination, as is too much the habit of their contemporaries in similar American fiction...

The addition of a bright young girl to the party, with a hint of chaperonage in the person of an errat- ically sensible mother and an eccentric father, lends interest and piquancy, to the adventured, which are not too improbable... The relations between the boys and Corny are very nicely managed, and the book closes with a hint of school and college instead of hymeneal prospects.

Their drollery of figure face and action is surely something to admire, but it is their energy, their dauntless refusal to be suppressed, that makes them just what they are... Atlantic 74:136; Jan. 3.894. Cox, Palmer. The Brownies, their book. Century, 1887. $1.50 ...These tiny, mooneyed grotesque creatures now have a whole book. . .wherein to disport themselves and may clamber and scamper and skip and slide through through one hundred and forty-four pages...We find them skating, bicycling, playing lawn-tennis and base-ball, canoeing, tobogganing, visiting the circus and menag- erie. . Critic n. s. 8:271; Nov. 26, 1887. Herford, Oliver. Prim er of natural history. Scribner, 1899. $1.25 ...Mr. Herford has taken a host of animals of varying types from the domestic cat to the negligee yak, and written them up in verses whose subtle caricature is equalled only by the illus- trations themselves... Lit. World 30:411; Nov. 25, 1899. Humphrey, Maud "tnd Mabel. Gallant little patriots. Stokes, 1899. $1.25 ...presents a timely variation in the chubby darlings which Miss Maud Humphrey delights to paint, and which in real life are sometimes considered such amusing toys. These befurbelowed dolls,however, are quite a distinct order of being from real children, who imitate their elders in no such half-hearted b fashion. With them, too, war is war, and the^red hardly escape from that game without dirt and torn clothes.

Humphrey, Maud. Little heroes and heroines, Stokes, 1899. $1.25 Is as artistic in its pictures and as attractive in its text as one would have a right to expect from this talented friend of all American children. Review of rev. 20:759; Dec. 1899. Humphrey, Maud, and Tucker, Elizabeth S. Little grown ups. Stokes, 1897. #2.00 Twelve beautifully colored plates representing charming little boys and girls immitating their elders; some are playing golf, one plays the banjo, another is the doctor feeling the baby»s pulse, and others are making visits drinking tea, etc. Between come Miss Tucker's stories and verses enclosed in emblem- atical borders printed in colored inks. Annual American Catalogue, 1897. Mother Goosete nursery rhymes. Dutton, 1896. #2.50 Printed in Bavaria, with the London imprint of Ernest Nister, that Nestor among the makers of printed books for children... It is a medium quarto of about 240 pages, holding all the melodies that Mother Goose ever wrote, set off with a most fascinating series of illustrations, some in colors occupying the whole page, some of^like size in only black and white, others of vignette or thumnail order scattered through and mixed up with the text in delightful intimacy. These pictures are all wonderfully well drawn. . Newell, Peter. Peter Newell f s pictures and rhymes. Harper, 1899. #1.25 ...Mr. Newell 1 s manner is purely his own; his range is limited, but he seldom fails to amuse directly, and now and again he suggests a high power of imagination and draft sman ship. . .The dory and the codfish conversing about attendance on the fish- ball have a Japanese fidelity to animated nature. For mere conceit, one cannot tire of the lassie afraid of the "wild" flowers, or of the other who grows a dairy of milk weed, butter- cup, and cowslip, or of the clever Indian boy shooting his arrow into the brook and always hitting the "bull's eye" of the ripples Nation 69:395; Nov. 23, 1899 itcftil/s wm ton* •nufvlq %it ax oiJoi/?* f r el Mil »*xf* «e-rt *>o oi t eX**iJ .g ^Mfftsixi v T**ftt* hre Si^T*e*T^ Mftftlf bft*ftXoc xliirtftt^d e*XftwT Tft oi oft irftM-Xo Tied* milftfti«ni ft/iX; tnft or** exmi ;«Hft» etf* si Tftrfiixtft (MIN t otrod mlf t o t *x©-. v^asXTrtft ftftftTo? *e» •ftlten i*i«iMT ee/t* a • TttBI fOLloXftftjO OftClTOiU i: •** A*tv t flixBvft« ol OftJftUtl p o iTi :«n Ml snoftftj #*rf* oftft f ••ftdft 1ft oMrip r i/iDe* ft el *X M5 t*#w loMi nrlftk > «X mum t ftff*M*i#ejf:xi ttftjftft* I rr *oftX IV If eeee? ,YMJC*4ftl Xjrtlr^»: g ^ ftTJD XXftft Rand, W. 3. Lilliput lyrics.

Lamson, 1896. $1.50 ...Paper and type and original quaintness alone would have made the edition a standard, but Miss Blanche McManus's uncom- monly piquant illustrations will send the book a long leap ahead. ..That they are after their artist's own heart is perfectly clear, and there is not a trace of imitation of any other Mother Goose pictures we ever saw about them.. .An introduction tells the story of this Immortal collection of nursery rhymes, and so digni- fies it with a touch of literary history.
