"Woodworth is unquestionably and immeasurably the best writer for children that we know of; for he combines a st.u.r.dy common sense and varied information with a most childlike and loveful spirit, that finds its way at once to the child"s heart. We regard him as one of the truest benefactors of his race; for he is as wise as he is gentle, and never uses his power over the child-heart to instil into it the poison of false teaching, or to cramp it with unlovely bigotry. The publishers have done their part, as well as the author, to make these volumes attractive. Altogether we regard them as one of the pleasantest series of juvenile books extant, both in their literary character and mechanical execution."--_Syracuse (N. Y.) Daily Standard._
