to a little gem lately published by the Hon. Mrs. WARD. One
of the most admirable little works on one of the most
sublime subjects that has been given to the world. The main
design of the book is to show how much may be done in

that is so perfect. The illustrations are admirable, and are
all original."--_Western Daily Press._
