B Peggy with love grom Auntie Grace, in memory алий This was Amelia Julia's book when she was a little girl in 1884 so its quite an old book, you must take Pare of it. PREFACE. HILE presenting this book for the perusal of the public, I am consoling myself for its deficiencies, with the time-honoured adage, "Everyone must have a beginning." Why not remedy the defects, if you are aware of their existence ? some would say. Advice more easily given than followed, at this early stage of my labours; the sovereign, and indeed, only remedy, being locked up in the school of that severe, but most faithful taskmaster, EXPERIENCE. 1879.
