Stories for Children in Illustration of the Lord's Prayer. By

Mrs. Molesworth. (Gardner, Dayton, and Co.)—These eight stories are well adapted for their purpose,—a purpose not very easy to carry out with success, for a moral, when it has to be made direct, is a difficult thing to manage. The tale illustrative of the clause, " Forgive us our trespasses," is particularly good; so is that which relates to the last, "Deliver us from evil." The volume is one of the best of the many additions which Mrs. Molesworth has made to the stook of good reading for children.
