A Tale for Youth. By Harriet Martineau, author of “The Peasant and the Prince,” “Norway and the Norwegians,” &c.

THE OLD OAK TREE;
A most interesting little volume of practical instruction for youth, illustrated with nearly fifty plates.
“This volume comprises a series of twelve familiar discourses or conversations which took place on as many Sabbath afternoons, a pious old blind man being the chief speaker. It is by the author of ‘John Hardy,’ ‘The Footman,’ &c., and is published under the direction of the Society for the promotion of Christian Knowledge. The precepts conveyed are altogether unexceptionable, and the whole volume is well calculated to prove attractive with children.”—Sat. Chronicle.
