Charlie and His Puppy Bingo
by Helen HillThe authors have made every effort to write these little stories in language that will be intelligible to very little children.

Harry Fenimore's Principles
by Isabel Thompson HopkinsOutside the city limits the country was glowing with garnet and gold, but within the boundary of walls and pavements, only here and there a solitary tree, or a vine trailing over a balcony, showed what October had been doing, and now the short autumn twilight was drawing its gray veil over even those. But nothing daunted, and as if determined to ke..
Ismael; an oriental tale. With other poems

Magna Carta - A Commentary on the Great Charter of King John
by William Sharp McKechnieNo Commentary upon Magna Carta has hitherto been written from the standpoint of modern research.
