This little book seems to be very well adapted to fully carry out the end indicated by its title-page.
Messrs. John Murphy & Co. have just published a small volume containing the life of John M. Costelloe, or The Beauty of Virtue, exemplified in an American Youth. The author simply proposes to lay before the reader "the virtues of a young man who passed seventeen years of his short life in the peaceful seclusion of his home, and the remaining two and a half in the quiet routine of a college, and who, therefore, could have practised only what St. Francis of Sales calls 'little virtues.'"
