_GIRL NEIGHBOURS:_
Or, The Old Fashion and the New. By SARAH TYTLER. With 8 full-page Illustrations by C. T. GARLAND. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50.
A story specially adapted for girls, told in that quaint delightfulfashion which has made Miss Tytler's former books so popular andattractive. The characters of the Girl Neighbours Sapientia (Pie)Stubbs, and Harriet (Harry) Cotton, who may be said respectively toillustrate the old and the new fashioned method of education, areadmirably delineated; and the introduction of the two young ladies fromLondon, who represent the modern institutions of professional nursingand schools of cookery, is very happily effected. The story possessesabundant humour and piquant descriptions of character.
"One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Tytler's stories. _Girl Neighbours_ is a healthy comedy, not so much of errors as of prejudices got rid of, very healthy, very agreeable, and very well written."--_Spectator._
"Girls will find it very interesting. The illustrations are very good; the frontispiece, especially, possesses a delicacy of execution not often met with in books of this class."--_School Guardian._
