Mothers’ Lessons for little Girls and Boys. By a Lady of Boston.

Little Stories for Little Folks. From the German. Boston. Published by W. D. Ticknor & Co., 1845.

We have seldom met with two better books for the hands of children than these beautiful little volumes from the press of Ticknor and Co. of Boston. It has been a too frequent fault with childrens’ books that they have been badly got up, but these volumes are sufficiently elegant for the most fastidious amateur in bibliography. The engravings are not quite as good as they should be, but they are free from the blotches and distortions which disfigure the majority of books of this class.
