Chapter IV: Part 4

Perhaps children have come to look on poetry as necessarily lessons. If not, these are excellent gift-books for little ones.

=832. Birds’ Nests and Eggs.= By the Rev. C. A. JOHNS. (S.P.C.K.) 3_s._

Encouragement in birds’ nesting is not desirable, but if there be a school museum such a book as this is wanted.

treatises, they should only excite curiosity and give general
information.

Substantial and real study.

=854. Nature’s Wonders.= By the Rev. R. NEWTON, D.D.

Collections of striking phenomena with their explanation.

RELIGIOUS BOOKS.

Very few directly religious books are here suggested. It is not
well to give a very serious book in a chance way to a young
creature expecting amusement. And the best books are fit rather
to make a lengthened stay with the reader than to be handed on
in the library. Tracts for special purposes do not belong to
the general class of books in circulation, and those here set
down are chiefly such as give information on principles, rather
than actually devotional books or sermons.

=857. Plain Words.= By the Bishop of BEDFORD. (Wells Gardner Darton, & Co.) 4 vols. 2_s._ each.

No words are wanted to praise this well-known book.

=858. The Light of Conscience.= (Rivingtons) 2_s._ 6_d._

Useful as showing how to deal with oneself.

=859. Church Doctrine and Bible Truths.= (Bell & Daldy) 3_s._ 6_d._

Excellent instruction.

=860. Last Years of Our Lord’s Ministry.= By Dean HOOK. (Griffith, Farran, & Co.) 5_s._

Needs no praise.

=861. Holy Living and Dying.= By Bishop JEREMY TAYLOR. (Rivingtons) 1_s._ each.

Still as true as ever.

=862. Readings for the Aged.= (Sackville College Sermons.) By the Rev. J. M. NEALE. (Masters) Complete set, 4 vols., 28_s._ 6_d._

Discourses to the inmates of Sackville College, chiefly on Blackletter Saints.

=863. Plain Church Teaching.= (Masters) 3_s._ and 4_s._

Short and excellent readings on the Sundays of the year.

=864. Tracts on Church Principles.= (Masters) 1_s._ 6_d._

=865. Personal Religion.= By Dean GOULBURN. (Rivingtons) 3_s._ 6_d._

Often makes a great impression.

=866. The Pursuit of Holiness.= By Dean GOULBURN. (Rivingtons) 3_s._ 6_d._

The sequel of the above.

=867. Household Theology.= By Rev. J. H. BLUNT. (Rivingtons) 3_s._ 6_d._

=868. Twilight of Life.= By the Rev. J. ELLERTON. (Cassell)

One of the few books in large type for aged eyes.

=869. Heart Chords.= (Cassell) 1_s._

There are a number of these little books, by different authors, among them Bishops Boyd Carpenter and Ashton Oxenden. Useful religious books; good gifts for thoughtful persons.

MAGAZINES.

It is very desirable to get good magazines taken in by the
parishioners. They are the most effectual means of occupying
the ground against hurtful publications, and serial stories
running on keep up the interest. If a shopkeeper can be made
an agent, with a small percentage, the affair will thrive, as
children’s magazines may be subscribed for at school.

=870. Little One’s Own Picture Paper.= (Dean) 1_d._

The pictures are wonderfully good, so are the verses. Capital for showing to the infant class at a Sunday school.

=871. The Rosebud.= (Clarke & Co.) 1_d._

For very small children.

=872. The Children’s Pictorial.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_d._

Full of chromolithographs; but the stories are not serial, and this _some_ children do not like.

=873. The Prize.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._

This bears a highly coloured ‘picture,’ and is greatly liked.

=874. The Child’s Companion.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._

Well illustrated, and with pretty stories and short religious lessons.

=875. Chatterbox.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) Weekly, ½_d._ Monthly, 3_d._

Well illustrated and amusing; fit for young people somewhat older. The information is capital.

=876. Little Folks.= (Cassell) 6_d._

A somewhat superior article, with sensible tales, original correspondence, and prize competitions. Matter fairly good.

=877. My Sunday Friend.= (Mowbray) 1_d._

With the strongest Church tone of all these, and useful Sunday questions. Stories good.

=878. Sunshine.= 1_d._

Fairly good; but the Bible questions are too like riddles.

=879. Boy’s Own Paper.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ weekly, 6_d._ monthly.

Capital, and full of adventurous tales.

=880. Girl’s Own Paper.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ weekly, 6_d._ monthly.

Hardly equal to the Boy’s, but very much appreciated by girls in their teens, whose wants it seems to satisfy in a sensible, innocent way.

=881. Dawn of Day.= (S.P.C.K.) ½_d._

Fit for older children and young people. Can be localised.

=882. Atalanta.= (Hatchards) 6_d._

Especially for young girls, and proposing very useful subjects for competition.

=883. Penny Post.= (Parker) 1_d._

The eldest of all these, and still keeping up its reputation.

=884. The Youth’s Companion.=

An American weekly published by Perry, 41 Temple Place, Boston. A subscription of 10_s._ per annum would bring it to England, and it has some of the best reading for young folks that we know.

=885. Parish Magazine.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._

The first of all to be localised. Always fairly good.

=886. Banner of Faith.= (Church Extension Society) 3_s._ 6_d._ per volume.

With a strong Church tone. Very spirited. Can be localised.

=887. The Gospeller.= (Mowbray) 1_d._

More decidedly religious reading. Can be localised.

=888. The Leisure Hour.= Monthly, 6_d._; 7_s._ per volume.

A mixture of tales and information.

=889. The Quiver.= (Cassell) 6_d._

Of the same character. Monthly, and for Sunday reading, and thus containing articles on Holy Scripture.

=890. Cassell’s Family Magazine.= Monthly, 7_d._

Of a more secular but wholesome character, with tales and substantial information.

=891. Good Words.= (Isbister) 6_d._

Commands the ablest writers and comes the nearest to literature. Men are more likely to read it than the others. There is always a religious article or two—‘unsectarian.’

=892. The Net.= (Bemrose & Sons) 1_d._

Valuable as giving vivid accounts of missions.

=893. The Gospel Missionary.= (Bell) ½_d._

Keeping up interest in missions.

=894. The Coral Magazine.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._

On the part of the Church Missionary Society.

PENNY READINGS.

The foremost counsel to be given to those commencing Penny
Readings is to beware of exciting an expectation that all
readings and recitations shall be comic. It is probable that
a considerable proportion of the audience will enjoy what is
adventurous or pathetic; but if the lads, whose prime object
is to make a noise, once get into the habit of expecting
that everything shall be the occasion of laughing, they will
consider themselves defrauded by anything else, and spoil all
chance of listening. Even if they come in a civilised mood, a
little excitement will set them off, and make them unmanageable
all the rest of the time, and habits will set in which will
drive the readers at last into mere buffoonery. Drollery is
quite expedient, but it should be only just at the end, as a
_bonne bouche_, when the uproariousness which it creates can
speedily be worked off out of doors, or else a race of young
tyrants will be raised up who will effectually prevent taste
from being raised among the audience.

_POETRY FOR READING OR RECITATION._

Poetry answers better than prose if WELL recited or read, and
a child is generally rapturously listened to if it can do the
thing with spirit and not like a lesson.
