"Among the vast multitude of games that have made their appearance, there is none equal to the one before us in amount of metamorphosed application and ingenious combinations. By means of this innocent play the child is stimulated not only to become acquainted with the most necessary requirements in life, such as writing, cyphering, drawing, etc., but it will also derive excelent [sic] amusements in constructing and mosaic games as well as in puzzle, and may therefore be justly recommended to parents and a really useful and valuable present for their little ones."--Description on box bottom, with parallel descriptions in German and French. - Subject Terms:
