had been
exacted from him in the cathedral. Finally, he draws his sword, and
making a cut towards each of the cardinal points, thereby denotes,
that, let danger come from what quarter it may, he will repel it. Then
are medals scattered among the crowd; then is the air rent with shouts,
and the princely cavalcade returns to the city in the same order which
attended its outward progress.

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._
