The Swallow Book, the Story of the Swallow, Told in Legends, Fables, Folk Songs, Proverbs, Omens, and Riddles of Many Lands Gathered By Dr. Giuseppe ... Arranged for the Use of Our, Boys and Girls

This little book, dear, was to have been dedicated to your mother, when she, alas, was snatched from us in the terrible disaster of Messina, while she was transcribing for me notes and material concerning theS wallow. Now that your dear mother and father live in you, I offer this book in your name, sweet Giuseppina, as an augury of bright days for you our happiness and our care. May the good-omened little bird of gladness and of joy be to you a messenger of perennial spring, and may your life be always strewn with the roses, gladdened with the golden dreams, crowned with the happiness invoked for it by YOUR GRANDFATHER.
