Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Howitts Journal of Literature and Popular Progress, Vol. 3
Is often the means by which the child shows its earliest activity. You return from the town where you have been making good bargains; you wish to give your child some pleasure at home, and you bring him a pretty play-thing. But scarcely is the first joy Of sur prise and wonder over, then the child begins to make some alteration in the present you have made him, to play at bowls with it, and to throw it about, until, in a few days, the play-thing is all to pieces and destroyed.
