Excerpt from Letters From Colonial Children These letters are planned to give an idea of how life in some of the representative American colonies might have seemed to children, not necessarily the children of 1607 or 1733, as it may be, for, save in the case of one or two colonies, material for such precision of delineation is utterly lacking, but to the child mind rather than the adult mind. I have aimed at historical accuracy except in regard to the language employed. To sprinkle the pages with seventeenth-century phrases would have been a simple matter; but to reproduce with any degree of verisimilitude the familiar parlance of the children of three centuries ago would have been impossible. It seemed wiser, therefore, to trust to modern English and not attempt what must at best have been only an unsatisfactory imitation.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This early work by Eva March Tappan was originally published in 1908 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Letters From Colonial Children' is a collection of letters designed to give the reader an idea of how life in American colonies might have been for children. Eva March Tappan was born on 26th December 1854, in Blackstone, Massachusetts, United States. Tappan began her literary career writing about famous characters from history in works such as 'In the Days of William the Conqueror' (1901), and 'In the Days of Queen Elizabeth' (1902). She then developed an interest in children's books, writing her own and publishing collections of classic tales.

Excerpt from Stories of Colonial Children But after all, what did it matter> There were the loving mother arms, which are better than cradles, if a baby can't have both; and there were the proud and happy papas, each one, of course, thinking his baby whole worlds sweeter than any other baby ever born. And then the aunts and the uncles those two babies had! Every man and woman on board the vessel declared themselves aunt and uncle to these two wonderful new babies; and so anxious were they all to help take care of the little fellows and hold them on their laps, that even had they had the cradles and soft blankets, the babies would have had little time to use them.

Excerpt from Letters to the Children Jeremy Bentham mentions that the current of his thoughts and studies was directed for life by a single phrase that caught his eye at the end of a pamphlet - The greatest good to the greatest number. There are single sentences in the New Testament that have awakened to spiritual life millions of dormant souls. In things of less moment books have a wondrous power. George Law, a boy on his father's farm, met an old unknown book, which told the story of a farmer's son who went away to seek his fortune, and came home after many years' absence a rich man. From that moment George became uneasy, left home, lived over again the life he had read of, returned a millionaire, and paid all his father's debts.
