Pictures Illustrative of the Lord's Prayer. By Emma Marshall. (Nisbet.)—The

pictures in this book, which are large but not specially graceful, are meant to illustrate not so much the Lord's Prayer generally, as certain events in the history of two orphan girls, Helen and May. Mrs. Marshall undoubtedly exhibits con- siderable skill in making the different incidents in her story fit the different petitions in the Prayer without anything which looks like straining after effect. Still, the story of Helen's "tempta- tion," "sin," &c., seems hardly suited for very young children.
