r
--,;7 My Daughter's Book,' by the ' rof the ' Young Gen-
, tletnau's Book,' is a good select' of prose and verse, em-
bracing most of the subjects which n interest youthful readers
of either sex, and well calculated to improve their minds. It is
an excellent volume for occasional reading.—Literare Gazette.
'. It is with unfeigned pleasure that we revert to the two other
volumes which have been sent us. ' The Young Gentleman's
Book' and ' My Daughter's Book;' both of which are de-
serving of the highest recommendation. not only as works of
sterling utility, butof high entertainment. The former of these
enters upon a wide field, embracing Astronomy, Natural His-
tory, Natural Philosophy, and Mental Philosophy; and seems
devoted to the study of nature and of man in many of their
varied particulars. The best sources of information have evi-
dently been consulted; and although the work may be consi-
dered a hook of extracts, yet those extracts are so judiciously
made, so admirably dove-tailed together, in connexion with the
subjects which it is intended they should illustrate, as to present
a uniformity of information truly valuable. 'My Daughter's
Book' is perhaps a more valuable production than the ' Young
Gentleman's Book,' and contains a variety of notices on woman
—hei constitution, her relations, her accomplishments, and her
duties. It is a hook drawn up in the best spirit, because it does
not flatter the vanity of the sex. In addition to these matters, it
contains some ' exquisite poetry' by ' various hands;' and,
what is no less valuable, some interesting facts regarding the
phenomena of nature, conversation, and the progress of refine.
ment. It is a work which would tend very powerfully to in-
struct the mind, enlarge the understanding, purify the taste, and
improve the heart."—Educational Magazine fey July, IEOS.
And on the Ist of January, 1836, will be Published, uniform
with My Daughter's and Young Gentleman's Books, price
10s. 6d., handsomely bound,

And which will be dedicated to her Royal Highness the
Princess Victoria.
