For children of all ages in town or country, these most admirably instructive yet amusing Tales by Miss Edgeworth, are exactly the books that every Parent, Teacher, or Guardian, should place in their hands. From “Waste Not, Want Not,” they will learn frugality without stinginess. The story of “Lazy Lawrence” shows in vivid colours the pleasures attending industry, and the bad effects of idleness; and in the tale of “The Bracelets,” seeing the happiness resulting from amiability and industry, they will strive to emulate the little heroines of the story. No child should be without them.
