MY OWN STORY; or the Autobiography of a Child. By Mary Howitt. D. Appleton & Co., 200 Broadway.

This volume completes the series of “Tales for the People and their Children,” written by Mrs. Howitt. It is womanly, gentle, and gossipping; full of little pathetic episodes, and sketches of in-door humble life. Those who have read the other books of the series, will of course read this; and in reading it will hardly fail to derive as much profit and enjoyment as the others have imparted.
