ead.

_From the New York Tribune._

The large and increasing circle of juveniles who sit enchanted year in
and out round the knees of Miss Alcott will hail with delight the
publication of "Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag." The most taking of these taking
tales is, to our fancy, "My Boys;" but all possess the quality which
made "Little Women" so widely popular, and the book will be welcomed and
read from Maine to Florida.

_Mrs. Hale, in Godey's Lady's Book._

These little stories are in every way worthy of the author of "Little
Women." They will be read with the sincerest pleasure by thousands of
children, and in that pleasure there will not be a single forbidden
ingredient. "My Boys," which, opening upon by chance, we read through at
a sitting, is charming. Ladislas, the noble, sweet-tempered Pole, is the
original of Laurie, ever to be remembered by all "Aunt Jo's" readers.

_From the Providence Press._

Dear Aunt Jo! You are embalmed in the thoughts and loves of thousands of
little men and little women. Your scrap-bag is rich in its stores of
good things. Pray do not close and put it away quite yet.

This is Louisa Alcott's Christmas tribute to the young people, and it
is, like herself, _good_. In making selections, "Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag"
must not be forgotten. There will be a vacant place where this little
volume is not.

_From the Boston Daily Advertiser._

One rarely meets with three so thoroughly charming and satisfactory
books for children as the "Doll-World Series," by Mrs. Robert O'Reilly.
Their author seems to possess--and in a high degree--every one of the
very peculiar and varied characteristics which fit one to be a good
writer for the young. She is humorous,--one ought perhaps to say funny,
for that is the word which the children understand best; and Mrs.
O'Reilly's wit is not the sly satire which appeals in a kind of aside to
the adults present, but the bubbling merriment which is addressed
directly to the ready risibles of her proper audience. She is pathetic
also, with the keen, transitory path
