readers of every description. They will confirm the sentiments
of those who are already well-disposed; and may reclaim even the

readers with the arguments of a Divine, and the affection of a
Parent."

boards.

"The Author of Display comes the nearest to Miss Edgeworth in point of style, and skill in developing characters, of any writer that has yet appeared, but her production is distinguished by features of its own. We never met with any composition so completely and beadtifully simple both in sentiment and style, which at the same time interested us so strongly by the naïveté of its descriptions, sometimes heightened by the most delicate touches of humour and pathos; by the heart that pervades the narrative, and the air of reality which is thrown over the characters."

ESSAYS IN RHYME, on Morals and Manners. JANE TAYLOR, Author of Display,' &c. Third Edition. boards,

"We have seldom met with a volume of poetry that bore more strikingly the impress of native thought, or that supplied the mind more richly with materials for deep reflection."

"Miss Taylor possesses a degree of acuteness, of good-natured
shrewdness, and of humorous observation, seldom exceeded; several
specimens of it are to be found in the volume before us.
lament that we have not room to give a specimen of sufficient
length to do the serious observations full justice; but they are
dictated by good sense, and flow from an observing mind, that
draws knowledge from the most ordinary occurrences."

RECIPROCAL DUTIES of PARENTS

and CHIL

DREN. By Mrs. TAYLOR, of Ongar. Second Edition. Handsomely printed in foolscap 8vo. with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards. "The same soundness of understanding, the same simplicity of mind and correct feeling, as obtained for Mrs. Taylor's first unostentatious volume an instant yet permanent popularity, have been displayed throughout the series to which this may be considered as belonging; and it is no small merit to have fairly won that popularity by means so free from stratagem.-Mrs. Taylor writes with the air of a person who thoroughly knows what she undertakes to impart, and who has but one object in view, in writing it, namely, to make others the wiser and better for her experience and reflection." Eclectic Review, April, 1819.

CORRESPONDENCE between a MOTHER and DAUGHTER at SCHOOL. By Mrs. TAYLOR, Author of 'Maternal Solicitude,' &c. and Miss TAYLOR, Author of Display,' &c. Third Edition. With a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. in boards.

"This is an inestimable little volume, and will prove of eminent service in conveying right sentiments with much amusement, and at the same time serve as a model for epistolary composition. It abounds with the best maxims for the improvement of the mind and the regulation of the conduct, without didactic formality, or the tediousness of moral disquisition."

New Monthly Mag. Aug. 1817.

MATERNAL SOLICITUDE for a DAUGHTER'S BEST INTERESTS. By Mrs. TAYLOR, of ONGAR. Seventh Edition. Handsomely printed in foolscap 8vo, with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"It is replete with sound and rational piety, judicious remark, and right feeling. The fifth, eighth, eleventh, and last two Essays may, perhaps, be referred to as amongst the most interesting; but all are characterised by a genuine earnestness of desire to contribute to the welfare of the person addressed, which gives them a charm and a force that no writings can possess, the sole objects of which have been evidently either gain or glory."

British Review, Feb. 1816.

PRACTICAL HINTS to YOUNG FEMALES, on the Duties of a Wife, a Mother, and a Mistress of a Family. By Mrs. TAYLOR, of ONGAR. Eighth Edition. Handsomely printed in foolscap 8vo, with a beautiful frontispiece, price 5s. boards.

"The duties of a wife, a mother, and a mistress of a family, are admirably pourtrayed and most successfully urged in this little volume. It is a book that will be placed in the hands of those who are to fill those enviable situations, with the utmost advantage. The short religious portion at the conclusion is warm, affectionate, and just, but not tinged with the slightest spirit of fanaticism." British Critic, May, 1815.

THE PRESENT of a MISTRESS to a YOUNG SERVANT, consisting of friendly Advice and real Histories. By Mrs. TAYLOR, of ONGAR. Fifth Edition. Handsomely printed in foolscap 8vo, with a frontispiece, price 3s. 6d. bds.

"We are happy to announce another publication of this judicious and useful writer, particularly as we think that the present will be found among the most valuable of Mrs. Taylor's productions. The size of the volume is attractive: and the style, though correct, is so unaffected and simple, that every word will be understood by the class of readers for which it is designed." Monthly Review, March, 1816.
