SKETCHES FROM REAL LIFE.
BY MRS. L. MARIA CHILD.
I. THE POWER OF KINDNESS,
II. HOME AND POLITICS.
With Four Illustrations. 1 vol., square 18mo.,
embossed cloth.
Mrs. Child is so well known, and her writings have exerted
so wide an influence for the good of her race, that it is only
sufficient to announce her new work to command an extensive
sale. This little volume contains two beautifully written
sketches, the scenes and incidents from every-day life; they
are, “Power of Kindness,” showing how evil passions and
brutal force can be overcome and guided by its influence; the
other, “Home and Politics,” denouncing by a powerfully
wrought example, one of the greatest curses which hangs
over the country. The interest excited by these sketches is
great, and, as they will be attentively read, must do a great
deal of good with both old and young.
