It is not easy to choose among the many lives of the Queen that the Jubilee has brought forth. S.P.C.K. and R.T.S. have each a large handsome one and a penny one. ‘_The First Lady in the Land_’ (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) is cheap and attractive. Tulloch’s ‘_Life of Queen Victoria_’ (Nisbet) for boys and girls, and Miss Yonge’s ‘_Victorian Half Century_’ (Macmillan), 1_s._ or 1_s._ 6_d._, have both had the honour of Her Majesty’s correction, and are both for the young; Tulloch’s, perhaps, for the youngest. Another life of Queen Victoria (Nelson), 1_s._ 6_d._, is a marvel of cheapness and very prettily told. [Illustration] [Illustration] CHURCH HISTORY. =808.
