NO SENSE LIKE COMMON SENSE.

"We rejoice to see the works of the Howitts, whatever they be, republished among us. Their names

have a pleasant sound; their writings are sure to be animated by a kindly, humane spirit; and no one can leave them without feeling that he has been in delightful company."

North American Review. +"This is the second specimen of a series of Tales for the People and their Children,' which has lately been commenced by one well fitted for the task; and truly a more delightful story, either for parent or child, we have seldom read. Mary Howitt possesses, in a singular degree, that charming art, which so few writers can ever attain, of conveying the most sublime lessons of morality in a form

at once as simple and as attractive as a fairy tale. And then the magic skill with which, by her deep, quiet, but earnest enthusiasm, she invests the most ordinary objects and incidents with poetic beauty! Yet all is done with a degree of method, which renders her pictures alike harmonious and free from dull formality. It is not merely that

'From common things which round us lie Some random truths she can impart.' The truths she teaches, though drawn from common sources, are never given at random. Impulsive though her genius be, it never parts company with her judgment; and hence it may be truly said, that she possesses her genius, rather than she is possessed by it.'

THE

CHILD'S PICTURE AND VERSE BOOK:

COMMONLY CALLED

OTTO SPECKTER'S FABLE-BOOK.

This most admirable book for children, and their great favourite almost all over the Continent, from Poland to France, and especially to be found in every house in Germany where there are children, the Translator is bringing out in a new and unparalleled form; i. e. with the text in GERMAN, FRENCH, and ENGLISH, so as to present not only a charming book of amusement for our children, but a capital first-book in the other two popular languages. The Hundred Woodcuts will be executed in a style superior to any of the Continental ones, and the whole will be included at a price not exceeding that of the original with its single text. A celebrated German Review says, "Of this production, which makes of itself an epoch in the world of children, it is superfluous to speak. This Fable-Book is throughout all Germany in the hands of parents and children, and will always be new because every year fresh children are born."
