Includes a fine condition 5 1/2 inch by 4 1/2 inch vintage typed lyrics sheet entitled "Little Feet May Follow Jesus" which is neatly affixed to the inner front board. Also includes Publisher's Note. " "Childhood Songs" has been prepared to meet a demand for a first-class book for the primary department in Sunday-schools and for home use among the little folks. It is the outgrowth, in great part, of an experience of several years in primary work. Most of its melodies have been subjected to practical tests which have demonstrated their adaptedness to the powers and tastes of little children. As will be seen, these melodies align themselves with the newer music of the day. They will be found on trial to be as simple as they are sweet and harmonious. Great attention has been given to the words as well as to the music. The hymns are within the comprehension of the youngest child, but the truths and sentiments they express are of the highest order and in the best form. The editors have done their utmost to combine variety with excellence. It is believed that there is not a single page which will not be found available and helpful." - excerpt from the Publisher's Note.…

A part of the province of Pedernales in the Dominican Republic, Alto Velo Island is a small uninhabited island south of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea. It was visited by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1494 and named Alta Vela ("tall sail") by him as it looked like a tall ship from the distance. In the 1860's, several U.S. companies claimed the island under the Guano Islands Act, but the state department came to determine that it likely belonged to the Dominican Republic though it laid in an area disputed between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
