meditations are as earnest and suited for their purpose as it would be possible to desire ; in fact , the book answers fully to its title and to the
expectations which will doubtless be formed of it . A word of praise is due to the tasteful way in which it is got up .
From the same . — « The NuTSe ' s Handbook / by Mrs . H . Selfe Leonard , Hon . Sec . of the London Bible
and Domestic Female Mission . This little volume , which seems to "be designed as a companion to Mr 1 a . elementary Boyd Carpenter manual ' s work for , those as it is who described visit and as
nurse the sick poor / is , like it , evidently the fruit of personal experience . Mrs . Leonard writes on the subject with a delicate consideration for the
feelings and prejudices of those who are to be the subjects of the nursing which she recommends , and her hints are all supported by sound
arguments for acting upon them . Her directions cover the whole ground over which the nurse may a have _* ^ w v ^^ to % ¦ ^^ travel v * »^ w ^^ jb , a beg ^* « j inning ^ " ^ ^ " ^ ^^^ J with - ^—¦ the — — — arra ¦—¦ — — ngements tJ
