_'The quality of the poetry of the Misses Taylor has been praised by such great judges that any praise from ourselves would be superfluous. No other writers of children's poetry have written of childish incident with all the child's simplicity._--SPECTATOR. _'Mr. Bedford's illustrations are not only very well drawn, but inspired by just the right feeling. It may be added that the Taylors were really the founders of a school. They gave a form and character to nursery verse which have become classic, and have been followed more or less by a long line of later writers.'_--STANDARD. _'Thanks are due to that delicate lover of literature and of children, Mr. E. V. Lucas, for reprinting this veritable classic.'_ TIMES OF INDIA. [Illustration: 'Why should you fear to tell the truth?'--_p. 71_.] Large Crown 8vo. printed on superfine paper, cloth boards.
