Stories from Wavedey for Children. By S. 0. C. (A.

and C. Black.) —Those who have watched the reading propensities of the rising gener- ation will have noticed, not without regret, that Scott has fallen out of favour. And of a truth, he is rather "strong meat ;" still he is so im- measurably more wholesome and nourishing than the green-and-yellow trash which is substituted for him, that we gladly encourage any attempt to make him more popular. The Stories before us are simply and neatly told ; we trust that those who enjoy this taste of the good things which are open to them will be encouraged to make trial of the feast itself.
