had been exacted from him in the cathedral.

END OF THE SECOND VOLUME. * * * * * _SELECT BOOKS FOR USE IN FAMILIES_, AND _FOR REWARDS AND PRESENTS,_ PUBLISHED BY JOHN W. PARKER, WEST STRAND, LONDON. THE CHILD'S GUIDE TO GOOD BREEDING; founded on CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES. By Mrs. MARSHALL, of Manchester. Handsomely bound, gilt edges, 2_s._ 6_d._ In the present age, when so much is done for the benefit of the rising generation, when works of no small size or price are published, to teach our daughters to dress their dolls, and our sons to whip their tops, and both together to play at "hide and seek," and "puss in the corner;" that so wide and important a field of instruction should have hitherto remained wholly uncultivated, seems indeed "passing strange." My own often and deeply-felt want of such a work, has induced me to make the attempt which I now lay before the public, in the humble yet earnest hope that it may in some degree supply the blank in our juvenile literature, to which I allude; until some brighter and more able spirit start forward in the path I have opened, to supply the deficiencies of this little work,--deficiencies no one can be more sensible of than I am myself, or can rejoice more sincerely in seeing noted and supplied; since to be humbly useful, is the motive I have at all times proposed to myself, in what I have ventured to submit to the same tribunal.--_From the Author's Address._ Also, by the same Lady, THE CHILD'S GUIDE TO DEVOTION; with an ESSAY ON PRAYER, adapted to the understanding of Children. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS; a Domestic Story. ANNETTE MOWBRAY; or, CONVERSATIONS with MAMA. Handsomely bound, gilt edges, 3_s._ THE FIRST LIE. Gilt edges, 6_d._ THE FIRST THEFT.
