PREFACE.

THESE little compositions were formed at a time when the purchase of the many valuable books we enjoy for Children was not convenient to the Authoress. Her Children were anxious for information: she therefore endeavoured to gratify their wishes by simplifying, and reducing to the capacities of Children of six and seven years old, many interesting relations, extracted from the works of our most intelligent Travellers. To a numerous young family they have afforded entertainment, and led to observation.
