Tan cloth hardcover stamped in gilt & green, 7 1/2 x5 1/2, 48 clean pp., deckled edges, tight. Very good.

Religious in tone, the author begins with pets and other familiar animals to describe how life is born into the world.

"We will begin our talk by speaking of the lower forms of life - plant babies, fish babies, animal babies, and last and most of important of all, human babies, and how all these children come into the world. This is the most sacred and wonderful mystery of Nature, and what little girls should know and reverence; for there is nothing in this world more holy than Motherhood." - Introduction.
