This is a very delightful moral story, portraying the adventures of a
sailor's li e, and that change of heart which fits the voyager on the tempestuous
ocean of this world's hopes to moor his bark finally in the haven
of eternal rest. There is much instruction as well as interesting narrative
to be found in these pages.—North American.

in all their beauty and loveliness. A parent could scarcely find a more
instructive tale for his children, and young men might derive influences
from its perusal that would save them many a heartache.—Auburn Journal.

THE COUSINS. A TALE OF EARLY LIFE.

By the Author of “Conquest and Self-Conquest.”—18mo, 37½ cents.

We have read this volume with unmingled satisfaction. It is replete
with instruction, not only for the young, but for all who are concerned
to know and judge their motives of life. We thank the author for her
nice and interesting discriminations between the motives of conduct.
Indeed, we do not know of any works of this description from the American
press which are entitled to a more just popularity than those which
have proceeded from the pen of this writer. They place her beside the
Edgeworths, and the Barbaulds, and the Opies, who have so long delighted
and instructed our children and us.—New-York Observer.
