The Doll Dramas. By Courland Milman. (Walter Smith and Innes.)—Here

we have six plays, intended, we suppose, to be acted by children, and not ill-adapted for that purpose. Three, " The Dolls Drama," "Mistress Mary, Quite Contrairy," and " The Lucky Sixpence," are in rhyme. This is an advantage, as parts in rhyme are so much more easily learnt than those written in prose. There is plenty of fun in all the plays. Miss Milman knows how to write nonsense becomingly, a far harder matter, as we have often had occasion to observe, than writing sense.
