Last Words to Girls. By Mrs. William Grey. (Rivingtons.)— "

The title of this little book," says the author in her preface, " is not so much the name as the expression of a fact." She has given many years to the work of setting forward the education of girls on sound principles, and here she gives in fourteen chapters, divided into two sections, " Life in School," and " Life after School," her final words of warning and advice. Full in them- selves of a kindly wisdom, they gain a special value from the character of the writer, and from the recollection of the work

that she has done. A mother could not put into a daughter's hand a better help towards the formation of habits mental and moral.
