Events in the Life of Miss Dollikins. (T. Nelson and

Sons.)—A. quaint little book of an old-fashioned kind, illustrating the adventures of a doll in rather nicely executed coloured engravings, while the adventures themselves are narrated in verse. We have found (inductively) that the book is decidedly a favourite with at least one little girl, the more so, we regret to say,—but such is human nature even in childhood,—that a certain Miss Johnson depicted in it is a decidedly sulky young lady, whose countenance, as here given, decidedly justifies adverse criticism, —which is, at least, as dear to children as to reviewers.
