Two of Mrs. Juliana Horatia Ewing's delightful books have been

reprinted in a convenient form (S.P.C.K.) These are Mrs. Overtheway's Remembrances and Melchior's Dream and other Tales. The latter contains the preface written for the first edition of 1862, in which Mrs. Getty, with a tender motherly pride, ex- presses her thankfulness "for the privilege of introducing a daughter into the literary world." There is something very pathetic in these simple words, now that both mother and daughter have passed away.
