 Prefatory Note 
 
 THIS manual of children's literature was begun in 1886, mainly as a help to librarians and 
 those having the guidance of young people, though it will be found useful as a catalog 
 for children's use. By the death of Mr. Sargent, the completion of the work was interrupted, 
 but his plan has been carried out as nearly as possible, with the addition of new titles up to 
 date. The classification is not intended to be a rigid one; many works of apparent fiction 
 being inserted under scientific headings or in other departments where they may be helpful, 
 although their titles, as is often the case with juvenile books, give no intimation of their 
 contents. 
 
 The index to periodicals was suggested by the many applications of young people for 
 material for essays on topics of the day and on scientific subjects, written in a manner adapted 
 to their comprehension. 
 
 It is hoped that it may be as useful to other librarians, who wish to aid their young patrons, 
 but lack helpful books, as it has been in the three libraries which have made use of it during 
 its compilation. 
 
 After the work was nearly completed it was delayed, at the desire of the committee of 
 the Publishing Section, in order to include, by permission, the books in the excellent manual 
 of Miss Hewins, " Books for the Young." Many books in that list, however, being now difficult 
 to obtain, it was found impossible to annotate all of the titles, and such have been inserted 
 without notes, for the benefit of any who may have access to them. 
 
 The letters a, b, c, in parentheses have been attached to most of the titles to show, in a 
 general way, to what class of young readers they are best adapted, (a) designating works 
 suitable for youth from twelve to eighteen, (b) those for children from eight to twelve, and (c) 
 those for the youngest readers.
