A collection of illustrated verses that seeks to instill good moral and social behavior in children. Some of these are cautionary tales including "Poisonous fruit" and "Dangerous Sport" (about a boy burning himself while playing with a hot poker). Others point to good social and familial behavior and include titles such as "Going to bed", and "Telling Falsehoods (about a boy who lies about drowning the family cat). Yet others encourage religious fervor as exemplified by the the mournful complaint of "The Orphan" who has no one to depend on except God.
This is the illustration that accompanies the verse entitled "Poisonous Fruit." Tommy and Jane decide to eat some berries that they find along a lane. The berries make them sick, however, and they both die. The verse ends with a warning that if Tommy had "understood that fruit in lanes was seldom good" he and Jane would still be alive. |
