Author Description

Excerpt from Aunt Mary's Tales: For the Entertainment and Improvement of Little Boys Your alarm, my dear boys, lest your sisters were to be the exclusive objects of my attention, is very gratifying to my feelings, as a proof of the value you set on my endeavours to amuse. The two following stories are more particularly your own; though, as virtue and knowledge have no right to a distinction of sexes, what is serviceable to the one, will not, I hope, be unacceptable to the other.
