of the most charming children's books in the language. They are conceived in a spirit of simplicity, and yet with so shrewd a feeling of the power and beauty of the original, as was perhaps possible to no other mind than that of Elia. They have arrived at a fifth edition, which is very prettily got up, and is adorned with wood- cuts from designs by HARVEY.
