This is one Of the most instructive magazines
in connection with the department to which it
is exclusively devoted, that we have met with
for long time. While it Cannot fail to attract
the attention Of teachers, it ought to find its
way into every family where there are young
minds and hearts to improve and entertain. In
simplicity, excellent descriptions, and faithful
narrating of facts, it is unsurpassed, and the
practical use Of it will be heightened by the
clearness Of its type, and the handsome manner
in which it is gotten up for its readers.
