RHYMES AND JrGLEs. Scribner, Armstrong
l. Co., New York. r. G. Eyrich, New
Orleans:
The most charming little book of the kind
ever published; something after the order
Of Mother Go ,se, but free from one touch OF
the coarseuess with which that quandam
nursery favorile abounds. Many of the
"Rhymes" attain to the dignity Of genuine
poetic composition. replete with feeling and
tenderness and full of gentle pathos, while
there is delicacy and purity of thought and
expression, in even the hvmblest Jingle.
Add to this that it is beautifully illustrated,
printed on satin paper, and tastefully bound
in blue and gold, and We can readily imagine
favorite with old Santa Claus and will glad
den the eyes of many and expectant little one
next Friday morning.
