The American Boy’s Handy Book; Or, What to Do and How to Do It
By DANIEL C. BEARD.
With three hundred illustrations by the author. One volume, 8vo. $2.00.
Mr. Beard’s book is the first to tell the active, inventive, and practical American boy the things he really wants to know, the thousand things he wants to do, and the ten thousand ways in which he can do them, with the helps and ingenious contrivances which every boy can either procure or make.
The author divides the book among the sports of the four seasons; and he has made an almost exhaustive collection of the cleverest modern devices, besides himself inventing an immense number of capital and practical ideas.
