PREFACE.
The Second Book will be found to afford, in its opening
Lessons, an easy transition from the last pages of the
Primer to short continuous narratives. In common with
all the other Readers of this Series, the frame-work cf the
Second Book is so planned as to avoid all disturbance of
official programmes or of school classification.
Exercises in the reading of written words and in the
writing of printed words are still provided for.
The readings have been chosen with the desire and
expectation of making this little book not alone the child's
—
constant companion, but a dearly-loved friend brimful of
charming pictures, overflowing with delightful rhymes
and stories. To the English-speaking race the Baltic is
the great fountain of folk-lore. Happily we can there
find exquisite imagination combined with pure morals
and with robust manhood. The winter scenes and
amusements there are the originals of our own. When
our children take to winter sports, they but live over
again the youth of the gray north Fatherland. There,
as here, " Christmas " calls up before the memory not
the sad, weeping skies of milder climates, but the keen,

bracing air, the music of the sleigh-belis, the treasure-
trove of St. Nicholas. There is thus a peculiar propriety
in bringing our children into contact with that v/onderful
old Fatherland from which the British Empire has in-
herited so much. While not neglecting English writers,
we havvi here freely drawn upon the fancy of the versatile
brothers Grimm upon the Russian fabulist Krilof upon
; ;
the famous Danish story-teller Andersen and upon the
;
less known, but equally delightful, Swedish writers Tope-
lius and Gustafsson. In all of these writers, the narra-
tive is of the simplest ; while their fresh and joyous style
is in charming accord with the springtime of our lives.
Toronto, May 10, 1882.
