“_One amongst the books before us deserves especial notice, entitled ‘The Star of Childhood,’ and edited by the Rev. T. T. Carter: it is eminently adapted for a New Year’s Gift. It is a manual of prayer for children, with hymns, litanies, and instructions. Some of the hymns are illustrative of our Lord’s life; and to these are added reduced copies from engravings of Fra Angelico._”――PENNY POST. “_Supposing a child to be capable of using a devotional manual, the book before us is, in its general structure, as good an attempt to meet the want as could have been put forth. In the first place it succeeds, where so many like efforts fail, in the matter of simplicity. The language is quite within the compass of a young child; that is to say, it is such as a young child can be made to understand; for we do not suppose that the book is intended to be put directly into his hands, but through the hands of an instructor._”――CHURCH BELLS. “_To the same hand which gave us the ‘Treasury of Devotion’ we are indebted for this beautiful little manual for children. Beginning with prayers suited to the comprehension of the youngest, it contains devotions, litanies, hymns, and instructions, carefully proportioned to the gradually increasing powers of a child’s mind from the earliest years, until confirmation. This little book cannot fail to influence for good the impressible hearts of children, and we hope that ere long it will be in the hands of all those who are blessed with Catholic-minded parents. It is beautifully got up, and is rendered more attractive by the capital engravings of Fra Angelico’s pictures of scenes of our Lord’s childhood. God-parents could scarcely find a more appropriate gift for their God-children than this, or one that is more likely to lead them to a knowledge of the truth._”――CHURCH UNION GAZETTE. “_‘The Star of Childhood’ is a first book of Prayers and instruction for children, compiled by a Priest, and edited by the Rev. T. T. Carter, rector of Clever. It is a very careful compilation, and the name of its editor is a warrant for its devotional tone._”――GUARDIAN. “_A handsomely got up and attractive volume, with several good illustrations from Fra Angelico’s most famous paintings._”――UNION REVIEW. _BY THE SAME COMPILER AND EDITOR._ =THE TREASURY OF DEVOTION=: A Manual pf Prayers for General and Daily Use.
