The work from which the following is a selection, has been long out of print; and many inquiries have been made concerning it. Since its first appearance, a new generation of young people has grown up; and they may, perhaps, find amusement and improvement in pictures of domestic life, that were recognised as such by their mothers.
The present volume will probably be succeeded by another, containing the remainder of the original Pencil Sketches, with additional stories.
