Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World by the Fireside, or Pictures and Scenes From Far-Off Lands
This Volume is called the world BY the fireside, because it brings the World, that is so full of wonders, to our own fireside. Young people can sit and read about the different races of men, the animals, the birds, the plants, and the insects, which they have never seen, and perhaps never heard of. As they read, they must admire the wisdom of the Creator in fitting every animal for the clime it has to live in, as well as in providing for its wants. The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. Hill and dale, flower and tree, sunrise and sunset, proclaim His power and His love.
