A TREASURY OF TALES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. THE NEW FAVOURITES.

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY PALMER AND COLEMAN.

Looking at my young audience with affectionate regard, and seeing amongst them boys and girls, youths and maidens, of all classes, of all tastes and dispositions, I have endeavoured to find something suited for all; for the elder ones, whose maturer minds require food of a more varied and elevated character; and for the little ones, to whom the fairy-tale will never lose its attractions. Stories for all such are within theso pages; are the flowers which compose my nosegay, and which have been selected with thoughtful care, and bound together with a loving hand, as an offering to that great and interesting portion of the public, its JUVENILE READERS; the children now the men and women of a few years hence. To them, therefore-the generous, warm-hearted, pure-minded, and affectionate youthful generation, which has its ranks filled up in never-ceasing succession-these volumes are inscribed.
