Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Timboo and Fanny, or the Art of Self-Instruction
AS it is probable that many of the readers of this volume of the Story Books may not have read the one entitled timboo and J OL iba, I ought here to state for their benefit that Timboo was a South Sea Island boy, that was brought to this country by a sea captain about two years before the time when this story com mences. After sailing about the world with the sea-captain for several years, he left him at last in New York, and went up the North River in search of some employment on land. He soon en gaged himself to work for a gentleman named Cheveril, who lived near a pleasant village on the river, where there were four children. Their names were Oscar, Carroll, Mark, and Fanny. Fanny was the youngest.
