"We have read most of them with great care, for we are very watchful over books for the young, and can assure our readers they are well worth a mother's attention. They vary in interest and in moral value, but all of them are calculated both to amuse and instruct. Some convey valuable historical information, others lessons in natural history, and most of them convey a healthy moral influence. All are subservient to religion as well as morals, but they are not tinctured with any ism, nor do they inculcate any peculiar tenets."--British Mothers' Journal.
