What books to lend and what to give

by Charlotte M. Yonge

639. The Chimney Corner. By E. Wordsworth. (Hatchards) 1s. 6d.

640. Short Words for Long Evenings. By E. Wordsworth. (Hatchards) 1s. 6d.

641. Work-a-Day World. By E. Wordsworth. (Hatchards) 1s. 6d.

All the above three are deeply thoughtful, often poetical, yet simple moralisings on common things.

642. Plain Words. By the Bishop of Bedford. One series 2s., or in separate tracts in 3 packets, 1s. each.

The force and beauty of these need no praise here, and they have the further merit of being just the right length.

643. The Scripture Half-hour at Mothers’ Meetings. (R.T.S.) 2s.

There are some admirable bits here, especially in the way of true anecdote and application, but some selection may be needful.

644. Bits of Talk on Home Matters. (Sampson Low) 2s.

There are most admirable chapters in this little book; to be valued by mothers of all degrees. ‘A polite mother’ is an admirable lesson.
