��" One of the most valuable books of the year. It is a perfect treasure house of knowledge ; one can dip into it at any place, and for that matter, any num- ber of times, and always bring up something quaint, instructive, interesting, or valuable, concerning the child of to-day or of primitive culture. A monumental task, monumentally achieved. It is invaluable for the scientific investigator, but every lover of children should own it too." The Clevelander.

" The book is one of the most remarkable of the present season, and must attract not only the attention of folklore students, but of the general public as well." Boston Daily Advertiser.

" I hardly recall a volume which has been more suggestive or which has given me more pleasure." N. Y. Herald.

" It is a work that is highly creditable to American scholarship, for one hardly knows which to praise most, the extended erudition compressed within its pages, or the exceptionally intelligent and systematic manner in which this rich store of learning has been placed before the reader." Boston Beacon.
