Most cordially do we welcome the pleasant and .instructive Series of Essays, entitled, 

 '* LirrLE Secrets," just issued by William Kidd, of Hammersmith, at the modest piice of 

 One Shilling. No man in the present day has done the tenth part of what he has done, for 

 the {idvancemeut of a healthy literature amongst our rising youth. His Works, it is true, 

 have had a special reference to objects of Natural History, — Birds, Flowers, and "Pets" of 

 the animal creation ; but, in his instructions for their treatment, he has ever interwoven 

 such lessons of kindness, forbo5irance and piety, — of all that is good, and an eager desire to 

 reform that which is evil, that we both respect and venerate him. * * * We rejoice to 

 see him in his Protean shapes again,— amusing, delighting, and making us all feel "happy." . 

 His present flight is a high and noble one; may it be abundantly successful I — H-impsjiikk 

 Advertiser. 



Anything new from Mr. Kidd's pen will, at all times, be heralded with deliglit. What- 

 ever fonn may invest his Works, that which Nature dictates he will write. . He has ever 

 fearlessly encountered the risk, inseparable from mingling with grateful instruction un- 

 palataljle truths. Truth has indeed been the honourable and constant characteristic of his 

 unceasing efforts to do good. Of this, lasting evidence remains in the several re'motely- 

 .sundered corners of the world, where (from the perpetually renewed harvest of moral lore 

 with Avhich time and the world teem) his pon has scattered so many rare and rich gleanings. 

 Mr. Kidd has wanted neither the originality of conception and feeling which give zest to 

 truths old and hackneyed, nor the liberal sentiment and unbiassed judgment which enable 

 their possessor to appreciate and give due welcome to truths new and strange. Hence his 

 great and ever-interesting power over the public mind. — Liverpool jNIercurt.
