Little Pilgrim's Progress."--_Christian Leader._
_MARGERY MERTON'S GIRLHOOD:_
By ALICE CORKRAN. With 6 full-page Illustrations
by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $1.25.
The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by her
father--an officer in India--to the care of an elderly aunt residing
near Paris. The accounts of the various persons who have an after
influence on the story, the school companions of Margery, the sisters of
the Conventual College of Art, the professor, and the peasantry of
Fontainebleau, are singularly vivid. There is a subtle attraction about
the book which will make it a great favourite with thoughtful girls.
"Another book for girls we can warmly commend.
There is a delightful piquancy in the experiences
and trials of a young English girl who studies
painting in Paris."--_Saturday Review._
_MEG'S FRIEND._
By ALICE CORKRAN. With 6 full-page Illustrations
by ROBERT FOWLER. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, $1.25.
Meg, a child of unknown parentage, has been brought up by a woman who
abuses the trust. She is removed to a ladies' school, passes
successfully through the many troubles incident to so complete a change,
and is ultimately taken into the house of a mysterious benefactor, who
proves to be her grandfather. Her fine nature at length breaks down his
coldness and apparent aversion to her; and after long separation she
once more meets the friend of her neglected childhood.
"Another of Miss Corkran's charming books for
girls, narrated in that simple and picturesque
style which marks the authoress as one of the
first amongst writers for young people."--_The
Spectator._
