ADDRESSED TO THE READERS OF THE LIBRARY FOR
LITTLE FOLKS."

MY DEAR LITTLE FRIENDS,

Little friends we may call you all, though there will, of course, be de-
grees of comparison-Little, less, and least-amongst the readers of the
Library for Little Folks." Some will have attained the important ages of
eleven or twelve, and they must have food for the mind befitting that age;
others will have arrived at eight, nine, and ten. But many who are not more
than six or seven will, we hope, be learned enough to read some of the books in
this "Library," and to suit such, some will be printed in large letters.

The "Library" will contain amusing stories, pleasant conversations on a
great many interesting and instructive subjects—mostly on the wonderful things
in Nature; and now and then a History of some well-known person: you know,
I suppose, such Histories are called Biography. This sort of reading you will
find quite as amusing, and a great deal more useful, than books about Giants and
Fairies, and wild adventures. Every book we read ought to make us wiser and
better, and it need not be dull or dry because it is intended to do so.

Should you learn something that is good from every little book, you will
of course be at the end of the year a great deal wiser and better than you are
now; and then you will have cause to be glad that you laid out your money in
buying "The Library for Little Folks."
