MACON, GA., NOV. 19, ‘IB7O.
Peters’ Musical Monthly.
HE November number is brim
jf'Wft ful of choice music—vocal and
instrumental. It is a mystery
frrpp to us how the publisher can
afford to give so much fine
music each month for the
price, but he certainly does it. Terms,
$3 a year. J. L. Peters, New York.
Godey’s Lady’s Book.
ladies like Godcy best of

sure sign that it is the best.
fThe December number is rich
in embellishments and reading
matter. In January, Godey
enters its forty first year, and our old
friend promises that it shall be the best
year yet. Now is a good time to get up
clubs. Terms, $3 a year. We send
Godey and our paper one year for $4.
To any one sending us four new sub
scribers and SB, we will send Godey's
Lady's Book one year free.

BURKE’S WEEKLY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Book Notices.
Springdale Stories. By Mrs, S. B. C. Samuels.
Boston : Lee & Shepard.
These are six in number, in a neat
box, forming a very pretty addition to
the library. They are — Adel;, Eric,
Herbert, Nettie's Trial, Johnstone's
Farm, and Ennisfellen. The same cha
racters run through all of the series, but
each story IS'complete in itself. They
are handsomely gotten up —as are all
the books issued by this house —but we
confess that they are altogether too sen
sational to suit our taste. We are sorry
to see that this feature is being intro
duced into too many of our juvenile
books, and there was never a time when
it was more important that children’s
books should be closely scrutinized.
National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs.
Set to Music by J. W. Elliott. London
and New York: Geo. ltoutledgo & Sons.
My Mother's Picture Book; containing—My
Mother, The Dog’s Dinner Party, The
White Cat, and Little Dog Trusty. Lon
don and New York: George Routledge
& Sons.
If it be true —as asserted by one of
the greatest of English critics and au
thors —that Sir Roger de Coverley and
Mr. Spectator are more real than nine
tenths of the heroes of the last century,
and that almost the only autobiography
to be received entirely without distrust
and disbelief is that of one llobin
son Crusoe, Mariner, of York: then
surely those important personages
Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, and
my Lady Wind are real and distinct
beings in the mind of every little child
whose nursery education has not been
entirely and unwarrantably neglected
for which reason the publishers of these
delightful volumes have determined to
present to the children of the present
day the adventures of these heroes, em
bellished with all that elegant pictures,
careful selection, musical accompani
ment, and superb printing can make
them. We have seen many books for
children, but we do not hesitate to pro
nounce these the handsomest we have
ever examined. Just think of Mother
Goose set to music, by a master, Pussy
Cat, and Little 80-peep, and Jack Hor
ner, and Simple Simon, and all the other
old favorites, with many new ones.
The volume last named is perfectly
gorgeous with its magnificent full-page
chromos —each one a gem. That sweet
est of all children's poems — My Mother ;
The Dog's Dinner Party, full of fun ;
The White Cat, one of our favorites
among fairy tales ; and that good, old
fashioned story of two boys and a little
dog— The Little Dog Trusty —each em
bellished with six of these splendid chro
mos. We should like to be able to
show it to all of you children, for we
shall never be able to give you half an
idea of how beautiful it is. Some of
you, however, who live in or near the
larger towns and cities, can purchase
it, and we advise you to do so —for it
is the very prettiest children’s book we
have ever seen.
