THE BOY'S COUNTRY BOOK. By William Howitt. Post 8vo, cloth. With Illustrations. Price 3s. 6d.
From "Edinburgh Review," July 1879.—"To our mind William Howitt's 'Boy's Country Book' is the best of the kind that has ever been written, and the publishers would do a kindness to the boys of the day if they were to bring it out in a new edition. It describes the life of a country lad some sixty years ago, and the descriptions are for the most part as true to nature now as then. Like all his later works, it has the force of most faithful delineation; and there is a fresh exuberance of hearty appreciation of those innocent pleasures in which his days flew by."
