    large plates , beautifully printed in colours and mounted on cardboard , adapted for hanging up in schools and nurseries . Each plate shows the tree with its fruit hanging on the boughsthe leaf

    publi the Vine cations , the are Fig hi , g and hly the finished Pome and granate the . picture These s are admirably natural .

    From Messrs . Lee & Shepard , Boston , Mass . — Barbara Thayer ; Ruth Eliot ' s Dream . ' Among

    Lakeman ; and Barbara , Thayer , her , g y lorious career , a novel , by Annie Jenness Miller . The name of this last is a little grandiloquentbut

    , the story is an interesting and romantic one . The quotations . at the head of the chapters are evidence of considerable reading in English literature .

    which took place almost half a century ago , having already passed through ten editions in 1 this country . ' Festus' once belonged to the

    much maligned ' spasmodic school' of poetry , but enthusiastic readers are still to be found for it , and therefore it was a ' happy Jf JT ^ thoug Oht' of

    the publishers to issue this dainty volume of extracts from the poem , the perusal of which will doubtless even prove a source of pleasure to

    work others others , which who who , . like lik is also e oursel onrsel published ves vAS , . treasure trftflsurfl by this the the firm original original . The typography of the book leaves little to be desired .
