Chapter I: Preface

Two volumes of a series of little books, corresponding, in their general style and characteristics, with the Rollo Books for boys, but designed more particularly for the other sex, have already been published, under the names of COUSIN LUCY’S CONVERSATIONS, and COUSIN LUCY’S STORIES. This, and its companion, COUSIN LUCY AT PLAY, are now offered to the public, in the hope that the little readers, into whose hands they may fall, may be interested, and, in some degree at least, profited, by the perusal of them.
