Excerpt from Rhymes of Home Might be a rhyme about it to set upon this page. The house is not the Home; it is no more than a shell, and empty enough at times. Friendly chairs, a rug, a table, thumbed books, and some beloved picture - these are not Home, though the warmth and glow of Home, like re ected firelight, may icker from them all. No, it cannot be defined; but this we do know: it is made up of sorrow as well as joy, and a multi tude of treasured every-days. And it bears some close relationship to children. For if the word Home does not conjure at once to your mind some wee face, some shrill welcoming shout, some clinging little fist, it is almost sure to stir up a scene from your own childhood. The rhymes brought to gether here have but one excuse for their wide variety - a spirit of home bade the writing of them all. And one thing I do know about Home, - it may be found wherever She is, to whom I dedicate this book! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Rhymes of Childhood N presenting herein the child dialect upon an equal footing with the proper or more serious English, the conscientious author feels it neither his desire nor province to offer excuse. Wholly simple and artless, Nature's children oftentimes seem the more engaging for their very defects of speech and general deportment. We need worry very little for their futures since the all-kind Mother has them in her keep. It is just and good to give the elegantly trained and edu cated child a welcome hearing. It is no less just and pleasant to admit his homely but wholesome-hearted little brother to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
