From the author: "I have not sought to model these Readers upon any pattern previously set, but to make them the outcome of what I have learned, by observation, of the receptive and retentive powers of children. I desired to impart useful and needful knowledge, in a fashion which should not be burdensome, and which should strongly impress young minds. My one idea has been to benefit the child, and to that end I have directed my whole effort." Please note this is the original Sea-Side and Way-Side, No. 3. Our Lady of Victory School labels Sea-Side and Way-Side, No. 2 as "Book 3", but this book is actually the 3rd Sea-Side and Way-Side Reader which is appropriate for a child around Grade 6. 280 pages in length.
