CHILD VERSE. Poems Grave and Gay

Little poems, full of fancy and sweetness, for grown people as well as for children.

"It is pleasant to observe that Father Tabb is not afraid of the pun. He uses it very felicitously in a number of his verses. It is good to see the rehabilitation of an ancient and unfortunate friend."—Harper's Weekly.

A STANDARD LIBRARY OF BIOGRAPHY

THE BEACON BIOGRAPHIES OF EMINENT AMERICANS

* * *

The aim of this series is to furnish brief, readable, and authentic accounts of the lives of those Americans whose personalities have impressed themselves most deeply on the character and history of their country. On account of the length of the more formal lives, often running into large volumes, the average busy man and woman have not the time or hardly the inclination to acquaint themselves with American biography. In the present series everything that such a reader would ordinarily care to know is given by writers of special competence, who possess in full measure the best contemporary point of view. Each volume is equipped with a photogravure portrait, an engraved title-page, a calendar of important dates, and a brief bibliography for further reading. Finally, the volumes are printed in a form convenient for reading and for carrying handily in the pocket.

"They contain exactly what every intelligent American ought to know about the lives of our great men."—Boston Herald.

"Surprisingly complete studies, ... admirably planned and executed."—Christian Register.

"Prepared as carefully as if they were so many imperial quartos, instead of being so small that they may be carried in the pocket."—New York Times.

"They are books of marked excellence."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

"They interest vividly, and their instruction is surprisingly comprehensive."—The Outlook.
