WILLIAM BEVERLEY HARISON, ESQ.
Publisher _Great Round World_.

DEAR MR. HARISON:

The conception of _The Great Round World_ magazine appeals to me
very strongly. It meets what has always been lacking in the
field of reading for the young; current history is of the
highest importance to the child, and should be clearly and
honestly told. In their book reading, the children have the
established facts of history presented in accurate and approved
form. The events of to-day, however, which will make possible
the chapters of history in the books of another decade, have
never been accurately presented in equally agreeable form until
the advent of the new magazine. It seems to me, therefore, that
it deserves and will have a vigorous growth. I congratulate you
on the form of the new magazine, and the careful summary of the
news of the world thus far given.

Yours sincerely,
CHARLES S. DIEHL.
