"The game of the Bee and the Butterfly has been constructed with a view to awaken and exercise the judgment of young people. At the same time, the inventor has endeavored, in the form of an amusement, to impress on the mind, the effects of the good and bad passions, as they are in action, and are daily occurring. He has, at all events, taken entirely new ground, and hopes that amongst the numerous excellent games of an educational character now before the public, one which appeals directly to the feelings, might meet with approval."--Directions, page [1]. - Subject Terms:
