"A spirited and entertaining sketch of the French people and nation,--one that will seize and hold the attention of all bright boys and girls who have a chance to read it."
--_Sunday Afternoon, Springfield (Ma.s.s.)._
"We find its descriptions universally good, that it is admirably simple and direct in style, without waste of words or timidity of opinion. The book represents a great deal of patient labor and conscientious study."
--_Courant, Hartford (Conn.)._
"Miss Kirkland has composed her 'Short History of France' in the way in which a history for young people ought to be written; that is, she has aimed to present a consecutive and agreeable story, from which the reader can not only learn the names of kings and the succession of events, but can also receive a vivid and permanent impression as to the characters, modes of life, and the spirit of different people."

FAMILIAR TALKS ON ENGLISH LITERATURE. A Manual embracing the Great Epochs of English Literature, from the English conquest of Britain, 449, to the death of Walter Scott, 1832. By ABBY SAGE RICHARDSON.
THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT SAYS:
"The work shows thorough study and excellent judgment, and we can warmly recommend it to schools and private cla.s.ses for reading as an admirable text-book."
THE NEW YORK EVENING MAIL SAYS:
"What the author proposed to do was to convey to her readers a clear idea of the variety, extent, and richness of English literature....
She has done just what she intended to do, and done it well."
THE NEW YORK NATION SAYS:
"It is refres.h.i.+ng to find a book designed for young readers which seeks to give only what will accomplish the real aim of the study: namely, to excite an interest in English literature, cultivate a taste for what is best in it, and thus lay a foundation on which they can build after reading."
PROF. MOSES COIT TYLER SAYS:
"I have had real satisfaction in looking over the book. There are some opinions with which I do not agree; but the main thing about the book is a good thing; namely its hearty, wholesome love of English literature, and the honest, unpretending, but genial and conversational, manner in which that love is uttered. It is a charming book to read, and it will breed in its readers the appet.i.te to read English literature for themselves."
