WHAT THE PAPERS SAY OF IT.
If you would teach your child to read in the easiest, quickest, and most practicable way, easiest both to the child and the teacher, put "The Nursery" in its hands every month. Our word for it, you will be surprised at the result. "The Nursery" will be found a primer, a reading-book, drawing-book, story-book, and lesson-book, all in one.—Boston Transcript.
"The Nursery" is as great a favorite as ever; and all attempts to imitate it have failed. No other magazine can supply its place. No family where there are small children can afford to be without it.—Providence Press.
Among American periodicals for the young, there is not one that we can more confidently commend than "The Nursery." Indeed, there is not one of the kind in Europe that quite comes up to this.—N.Y. Tribune.
Every house that has children in it needs "The Nursery" for their profit and delight; and every childless house needs it for the sweet portraiture it gives of childhood.—Northampton Journal.
"The Nursery" continues to be without a rival in its own field, and fills its place so well that none need wish for anything better. The idea that anything is good enough for the little ones finds no place in the mind of its editor, and both stories and pictures are of the choicest.—Chicago Advance.
No better outlay of money can be made for children than in subscription to such a magazine as "The Nursery," as it affords not only pleasure, but real benefit.—Richmond (Va.) Religious Herald.
We again repeat our hope that no family in this country, in which there is a child or children, will be without this beautiful, simple, and natural little magazine.—Marshall (Mich.) Expounder.
Of the many attempts to imitate it, all have failed. We are proud of such an American journal for children.—Illinois Schoolmaster.
Teachers who have tried it say that it charms the children into learning to read. Blessings on the sunny "Nursery"! Far and near may households be brightened by its presence!—Massachusetts Teacher.
A bright, pleasant little pictorial, with which the smallest children able to read at all may be amused and instructed. Parents looking for such reading will be interested in it.—N.Y. Tribune.
"The Nursery" is the very best magazine that we know for children. It is beautifully illustrated, and the stories are always clean and pure, inculcating kindness to one another and to animals. Its lessons are all in favor of truth, honor, and honesty. It should be in every family where there are young children to be entertained and instructed.—Woman's Journal.
"The Nursery" is 'a magazine for youngest readers,' and, as we know by its use in our own family, most admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is intended.—Charleston (S.C.) Carolinian.
Those who wish to furnish their little ones, just learning to read, with something fresh,—something written with great care, and illustrated with skill, to which the ordinary 'primers' cannot and do not attain,—should provide themselves with "The Nursery."—Detroit Post....
