Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Juvenile Spectator: Being Observations on the Tempers, Manners, and Foibles of Various Young Persons, Interspersed With Such Lively Matter, as It Is Presumed Will Amuse as Well as Instruct
IT is not a serious preface, to which I in Vite my young readers to devote five minutes 'of their 'precious time; I understand the ge neral characters of children: a preface is a part of a book, seldom perused by them; and, I am almost certain, that the title of this little volume, will, to many, appear very dull. A Fairy Tale, Amusing Stories, &c. &c. Never fail to charm and I have seen the eager eyes of many an amiable child, in tent 'ou the marvellous part of a story, while the moral, if it contained any, was wholly overlooked.
In order to make truths as pleasant as I can, permit me to tell my own story.
