The Children in the Wood the Beggar's Daughter, the Diverting

His- tory of John Ggliin, the Story of Ruth the Moabite:v. (Togg.)—Happy the children of the present day who have the stories that their fathers delighted in, bedight with charms that their fathers never dreamt of. These four little books are remarkable instances of the fact; the first three are prettily illustrated enough, but the fourth, the Story of Ruth, is quite noteworthy for the beauty of the engravings.
