KARL-OF-THE-LOCKET
AND HIS THREE WISHES.
A Tale. By David Smith.
'To that portion of the public which cares about knowing such things, it has not been unknown for some time that Mr. David Smith, brother of the poet Alexander, is likewise in possession of the literary faculty, and even of the gift of song; but this beautiful little book, which will be the delight of all boys and the admiration of many men, so for as we are aware, is the first substantive work from his pen. Meant as it is for a boy's book, it presents a terseness in the style, a poetic tint in the language throughout, and a vividness in the descriptive passages, which we do not often find in such literature in England.'—Daily Review.
