Relates stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement. Hopes to teach mythology as a relaxation from study, and to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education. Most of the classical legends are derived from Ovid and Virgil. The attempt has been made to tell the stories in prose.
