Beadle's Dime Union Song Book No. 2

Beadle's Dime Union Song Book No. 2 - A Collection of New and Popular Comic and Sentimental Songs.

Why these works (Beadles Dime Books) are popular, is a problem, quite as much for the moralist and the student of National character as for the critic. It is a satisfaction that, being so, they are, without exception, so far as we can judge, unexceptionably moral. * * They do not, even obscurely, pander to vice, or excite the passions.North American Review For July, 1864. These publications, by their combined cheapness, excellence, and beauty, have become familiar to the American public. They are, doubtless, the most popular series of books ever issued in this country. This popularity is due quite as much to the high standard of merit maintained in each work, as to the exceeding cheapness of the little volumes. Literary and moral excellence are primary requisites for all contributions to the series, as well as dramatic interest, power and beauty of story. Not a manuscript is used which has not all of these qualities. Hence the popularity and permanent value of these now conceded household and public favorites; and the general reader, the teacher, the parent, the scholar, may rest assured that, in securing any selected book of the list, they have what will prove eminently satisfactory. The list, it will be observed, comprises works of a varied charactereach complete of its kind, and especially designed to place within reach of those seeking for good books at cheap rates, such as are calculated to afford pleasure, to edify, and to become standards of reference. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
