NOTICE TO PARENTS.
Although this book is intended principally as a means of entertainment for their little readers, it is hoped by the writer that they may aid in accomplishing some of the following useful purposes:—
1. In cultivating the thinking powers; as frequent occasions occur, in which the incidents of the narrative, and the conversations arising from them, are intended to awaken and engage the reasoning and reflective faculties of the little readers.
2. In promoting the progress of children in reading and in knowledge of language; for the diction of the stories is intended to be often in advance of the natural language of the reader, and yet so used as to be explained by the connection.
3. In cultivating the amiable and gentle qualities of the heart. The scenes are laid in quiet and virtuous life, and the character and conduct described are generally—with the exception of some of the ordinary exhibitions of childish folly—character and conduct to be imitated; for it is generally better, in dealing with children, to allure them to what is right by agreeable pictures of it, than to attempt to drive them to it by repulsive delineations of what is wrong.
Fourteen "Rolo" books are included in this volume:
ROLLO AT PLAY
ROLLO AT WORK
ROLLO IN GENEVA
ROLLO IN HOLLAND
ROLLO IN LONDON
ROLLO IN NAPLES
ROLLO IN PARIS
ROLLO IN ROME
ROLLO IN SCOTLAND
ROLLO IN THE WOODS
ROLLO ON THE ATLANTIC
ROLLO ON THE RHINE
ROLLO’S EXPERIMENTS
ROLLO’S PHILOSOPHY
