We welcome another volume of Our Darlings, edited by Dr.

Bernardo (John F. Shaw).—This "Children's Treasury of Pic- tures and Stories" will meet, we are sure, with a hearty recep- tion, both for its own sake, and for the sake of its editor. Children, rich and poor, have no sincerer or better-tried friend. —Other books for the little folk, any one of which the elders may safely put into young hands, are :—Little Chummies ; or, Pictures and Rhymes for Happy Times. Edited by Frederick Sherlock. (Church Monthly Office.)—The Pilgrim's Progress in. Words of One Syllable, (a way that does not always tend to clear- ness). (Routledge and Sons.)—Bright Fairy-Tales and Animal Stories. By Harrison Weir. (Same publishers.)—Sunday Sun- shine, edited by Catharine Shaw (John F. Shaw), is another children's magazine which we may again take the opportunity of recommending.
