- Notes:
- "It is hardly necessary to premise that this little work was not intended to teach science, or to communicate facts of any kind, but to excite thought, and awaken the sense of the wonderful. Its best use will probably be as a textbook for conversation with a parent or teacher, and the author, who has felt the want of a work of this kind, will rejoice if her plan should hereafter be carried out by some abler hand."--p. [7]. "To my four little daughters, for whose use it was originally designed, this 'morning book' is dedicated by their affectionate mother, the author."--p. [5].
