Whoever loves spring flowers , the chaste snowdrop , the pure , frank primrosethe tender perfume of the violet , and the passionate
sweet-, ness 4 Letters of the of a h Betrothed yacinth , will . They enjoy are , as the their reflection types , of these a loving charming heart ,
a pure inind , and a cultivated intellect ; and , whoever Frank and Honoria may be , and we like to believe them bond fide persons , sure
we are that such a betrothed love as is here depicted will merge its spring blossoms in the fulness and beauty of a rich , ripe
summer , and lose none of its glory in the mellowed hues of autumn . A " Life-love" it is , and this little volume is worth a whole library of

lessons , whether of science or morals , which are wrapped up in the thin veil of amusement offered to the unsuspicious juvenile mind ,
are so frequently dry , mistaken , and even pernicious , that it is no slight praise to say the above little volumes are entirely harmless ,
and may be safely , and in some cases profitably , read by children however young .
The two pamphlets of advice , ' How to choose a Wife , ' and ' Howto choose a Husband , ' are , as their titles indicate , intended for
children of a larger growth . They are sensible , free from cant , and the advice is not only well expressed , but very judicious , while the
warnings are adapted to throw light on the faults and failings which cause most of the minor miseries of married life . They are full of
home-truths , and the counsel offered is sound and sensible .
