Summary "Robert Merry's Museum, Vol. VII, No. 1-6" by Various is a collection of educational and entertaining articles, stories, and poems aimed at children, written during the mid-19th century. The work seeks to provide young readers with a variety of engaging content that not only entertains but also instructs, emphasizing the value of education and knowledge in leading a happy life. The contributors include S.G. Goodrich, known for his children's literature, suggesting a blend of literary and moral themes throughout the magazine. The opening of the work introduces readers to the celebration of a new year, casting attention on the importance of resolutions and education. It features a cheerful narrative encouraging children to appreciate the journey of learning, likening education to a safeguard against ignorance, akin to being "savage." As the text progresses, it establishes a foundation for whimsical stories and thought-provoking morals, with themes of obedience, curiosity, and the joy of discovery reflected in anecdotes such as "The Thorn," where disobedience leads to misfortune, and playful tales like "The Blues," exploring emotions and behavior. This diverse beginning sets a welcoming and insightful tone for the collection, inviting children to explore its pages with a sense of wonder and openness.
