VIOLET; A Fairy Story. Illustrated by Billings. Price 50 cents; gilt, 75 cents.
The publishers desire to call attention to this exquisite little story. It breathes such a love of Nature
in all her forms; inculcates such excellent principles, and is so full of beauty and simplicity, that it will
delight not only children, but all renders of unsophisticated tastes. The author seems to teach the gentle
creed which Coleridge has embodied in those familiar lines—
Both man, and bird, and beast.”

gilt, 75 cents.
THE GREAT ROSY DIAMOND. By Mrs. Anne Augusta Carter With illustrations by
Billings Price 50 cents; gilt 75 cents.
This is a most charming story, from an author of reputation in this department, both in England and
America. The machinery of Fairy Land is employed with great ingenuity: the style is beautiful, imaginative,
yet simple. The frolics of Robin Goodfellow are rendered with the utmost grace and spirit.
TALES FROM SHAKSPEARE. Designed for the Use of Young Persons. By Charles
Lamb. From the fifth London edition. 12mo. Illustrated. Price, bound in muslin, $1.00; gilt, $1.50.
These tales are intended to interest children and youth in some of the plays of Shakspeare. The form
of the dialogue is dropped, and instead the plots are woven into stories, which are models of beauty.
What Hawthorne has lately done for the classical mythology, Lamb has here done for Shakspeare.
