to the understanding and taste of the young,
and cannot fail to have as large sale as its

nished it with thirty illustrations beside the
ornamental head-pieces at the commencement
of each chapter. s....sl ...l. ...

"The Trotty Book" by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, published by Fields, Osgood s. Co., is
nice book for the children, not only as to its
composition but in its exterior and its numer-
GUS illustrations, which are very fine. We do
do not see why it should not be as popular
with the juveniles as Miss Phelps Gates
Aiar' is with the children of older growth.
Price S15O, and well worth it. Hall L. Davis
has it. .f
