We have here a most valuable book, telling not of the childhood of those
who have afterwards become famous, but those who as children are famous
in history, song, and story. For convenience the subjects are grouped as
"Royal Children," "Child Artists," "Learned Children," "Devoted
Children," "Child Martyrs," and "Heroic Children," and the names of the
"two little princes," Louis XVII., Mozart, St. Genevieve, David, and
Joan of Arc are here, as well as those of many more.

of telling a story, and the many excellent drawings have lent great
spirit to the narrative.
