The True Child. By Mrs. E. Oakes Smith, Author of “Riches without Wings.” “The Sinless Child,” &c. &c. Boston: Saxton & Kelt.

A truly interesting, graceful and useful little book, by one of the most gifted and accomplished of American poetesses. The Preface is, in its way, a model of good writing, and this [page 188:] is saying a great deal — for Prefaces are difficult things, not to write — but to write well. For sale by Messrs. Saxton & Huntington, 295 Broadway.
