One elegant volume of 500 pages, with illustrations. Price 75 cents. This volume of biographical incidents is a striking picture of juvenile life. To all that numberless class of youth who are passing through their literary education, whether in boarding-schools or academies, in the collegiate course, or the preparatory studies connected with them, we know nothing more precisely fitted to meliorate their character, and direct their course, subordinate to the higher authority of Christian ethics, than this excellent delineation of The Young Student,' by Madame Guizot. It is a perfect reflecting mirror, in which the whole race may behold the resolution, the impetuosity, and the disobedient tendencies of their own hearts, as exemplified in the history of Ralph; and the moral daring, dignity, and triumph, exhibited by Victor. But it is not the son alone who is taught by Madame Guizot-every father, also, who has children still under the age of manhood, and even grandpas,' can derive rich editication from the example of Ralph's father and Victor's guardianship. The French Academy were correct in their judgment when they pronounced Madame Guizot's Student the best book of the year."-N. Y. Courier & Enquirer.

Price 50 cents AUTHOR'S PREFACE. In writing the following pages, my most earnest desire has been to awaken in the hearts of little children, kindly and affectionate feelings towards each other, submission and loving confidence towards their parents, and reverence and love towards God. This I have attempted in describing scenes and objects most of which must be familiar to every child. The language I have used is the easiest I could command, so that a child of three years old may understand it. VERY LITTLE TALES, For very Little Children. In single syllables of three and four letters. From the sixth London edition; illustrated with numerous engravings. Elegantly bound in cloth. Price 37 1-2 cents. The type of this little volume is quite a curiosity, it is so large. "The suitableness of this little work to its object, is proved by the fact that the first edition went off within three weeks from the day of its publication, and that a fourth was required in a few months. It is designed for children who have just acquired the knowledge of their alphabet; a period in juvenile education which has been hitherto left without any provision of the kind "-Extract from Preface.
