Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marguerite's Journal, 1875: A Story for Girls Among the many reasons which have influenced those who have been interested in the reproductions of this little book, may be mentioned the following: First, the story has seemed a singularly fine illustration of development of character. But too often in books, characters stand still. We have them in this stage of development, or in that; good photographs. But here, little Marguerite grows before our eyes from a passionate, every-day child to a thoughtful, self-controlled, devout young soul, whom all might emulate. Secondly, it contains so easy and unintentional a picture of French life and customs. It is so pleasant a way of teaching a child, how French children live, and in how small a part of the world his or her nursery rules prevail. The sea voyage and the life in the tropics, without apparent effort at instruction, give so much and such excellent instruction.
