KARL-OF-THE-LOCKET AND HIS THREE WISHES.
A Tale. By DAVID SMITH.
'To that portion of the public which cares about knowing such things,
it has not been unknown for some time that Mr. David Smith, brother of
the poet Alexander, is likewise in possession of the literary faculty,
and even of the gift of song; but this beautiful little book, which
will be the delight of all boys and the admiration of many men, so for
as we are aware, is the first substantive work from his pen. Meant as
it is for a boy's book, it presents a terseness in the style, a poetic
tint in the language throughout, and a vividness in the descriptive
passages, which we do not often find in such literature in
England.'--_Daily Review._
