BY CHARLES WELSH
The facsimile of 'Goody Two-Shoes,' which Mr Welsh has edited, and Messrs Griffith and Farran published, might be classed among the Christmas books of the season, but it deserves more extended notice, as reproducing a volume which, if hardly known to the present generation, ranks among English Classics. Mr Welsh deserves hearty thanks for the trouble he has taken in producing this neat little volume. — Athenæum.
We are sure that many who are no longer in their youth will be pleased to see it. — Queen.
A very quaint little book. — Punch.
