Royal Children. By Julia Luard. Revised edition. (John Hogg.)—We are pleased to see a revised edition of Royal Children. If there is one thing young people like, it is reading about youthful kings and queens. A great deal of information as to dress, customs, pageants, and courtly minutia; has been collected, and history can be learnt from such things by intelligent children as readily as from text-books.
