Books with title Little Nature Studies for Little People

Excerpt from Little Nature Studies for Little PeopleNot verily For their own sakes, but for the fields and hills Where was their occupation and abode.Your real lover of nature does not love the merely beautiful things which he culls here and there; he loves the earth itself, the (agesof the hills and mountains, the rocks, the streams, the naked trees no less than the leafy trees, a plowed field no less than a green meadow. He does not know what it is that draws him. It is not beauty, any more than it is beauty in his father or mother that makes him love them. It is something far more deeply interfused. Something native and kindred that calls to him. In certain moods how good the earth, the soil, seems! One wants to feel it with his hands and smell it - almost taste it. Indeed, I never see a horse eat soil and sods, without a feeling that I would like to taste it too. The rind of the earth, of this round and delicious globe which has hung so long upon the great Newtonian tree, ripening in the sun, must be sweet.I recall an Irish girl lately come to this country, who worked for us, and who, when I dug and brought to the kitchen the first early potatoes, felt them, and stroked them with her hand, and smelled them, and was loth to lay them down, they were so full of sugges tion of the dear land and home she had so lately left. I suppose it was a happy surprise to her to find that the earth had the same fresh, moist smell here that it had in Ireland, and yielded the same fresh crisp tubers. The canny creature had always worked in the fields, and the love of the soil and of homely country things was deep in her heart?! Another emigrant from over the seas, a laboring man confined to the town, said to me in his last illness, that he believed he would get well if he could again walk in the fields. A Frenchman who fled the city and came to the country, said, with an impressive gesture, that he wanted to be where he could see the blue sky over his head.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Little Stories for Little PeopleThe vocabulary used in this first supplementary reading-book is mainly confined to that found in five leading First Readers.For the most part, each lesson is a complete story. By story is meant a dramatic incident, however slight. The children's interest is gener ally better held by a story than by any other form of reading.It is noticeable in some First Readers that there is seldom any sequence of stories. Each new lesson introduces a fresh set of nouns and verbs bearing no relation to those of the story preceding.Many of these stories are arranged in little groups, the object being to retain the child's inter est in the characters, and the repeated use of the same, or similar, words, phrases, sentences.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
