=225.= EDGEWORTH’S =Early Lessons=.
” =Frank=.
” =Rosamond=.
” =Parent’s Assistant=.
” =Harry and Lucy=.
These are real classics, and ought to be well read by every child. There
are many points of good sense, refinement, and honour better given in
them than in most modern books. They have been so often republished that
they may be had at almost any price.
=226. Tip Cat.= (Smith) 3_s._ 6_d._
Has much grace and tenderness.
=227. May Cunningham’s Trial.= (Cassell) 2_s._
Interesting and spirited.
=228. Pat.= By STELLA AUSTIN. (Masters) 3_s._ 6_d._
By far the best of Stella Austin’s stories, which are popular, but have
for the most part the fault of admiring the children’s simplicity too
palpably, and might foster affectation or self-consciousness.
=229. Sidney Grey.= By ANNIE KEARY. (Warne) 3_s._ 6_d._
A story of much excellence and reality.
=230. The School-boy Baronet.= By the Hon. Mrs. GREENE. (Warne) 3_s._
6_d._
A young tyrant cured of his overbearing ways by seeing their exaggeration
in lower life.
=231. Cushions and Corners.= By the Hon. Mrs. GREENE. (Warne) 2_s._ 6_d._
A clever story on angular and gentle tempers.
=232. Blind Man’s Holiday.= By ANNIE KEARY. (Warne) 2_s._
=233. Father Phim.= By ANNIE KEARY. (Warne) 1_s._
In the first we have touches from the author’s own childhood. The second
is very beautiful, and perhaps the most perfect of the author’s works.
=234. New Honours.= By Mrs. SELBY LOWNDES. (Warne) 2_s._
Children whose first experiences of their father’s peerage are not
pleasant.
=235. Mistress Mary.= By Mrs. SITWELL. (S.P.C.K.) 1_s._ 6_d._
A charming story of a quaint little girl and her noble-minded parents.
=236. Dora and Nora.= By ANNETTE LYSTER. (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._
Two girls who endure in a very different manner the trial of living with
a cross old aunt.
=237. Carry’s Rose.= By Mrs. CUPPLES. (Nelson) 9_d._
Against teasing.
=238. The Launch of the ‘Victory.’= (Nelson) 6_d._
Of a wholesome friendship made over a toy ship.
=239. The Phantom Picture.= By the Hon. Mrs. GREENE. (Nelson) 2_s._
Disobedience detected by the culprit unconsciously photographing himself.
=240. Silverthorns.= By Mrs. MOLESWORTH. (Hatchard) 6_s._
A harsh judgment and incipient jealousy confuted. Very sweet characters.
=241. The Linen Room Window.= By C. BIRLEY. (Wells Gardner, Darton, &
Co.) 1_s._ 6_d._
The effect of sunshine through a convex bit of glass.
=242. A Story for the Schoolroom.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._
Excitement at going to stay with a girl of higher rank ending in
wholesome discipline and mortification of self-importance.
