NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 61- 



they will find this wondrous story rendered still 

 more attractive by some thirty drawings, from the 

 pencil of one of the most imaginative artists of the 

 day, and whose artistic spirit seems to have revelled 

 with delight as he pourtrayed the heroic acliievements 

 of " the valiant Cornish man." 



We will now turn to those works which are of a 

 somewhat graver class ; and we will begin with Miss 

 Drury's able and well-written story, entitled Eastbury, 

 in which the heavy trials of Beatrice Eustace, mitigated 

 and eventually overcoine through the friendship and 

 truthfulness of Julia Seymour, are told in a inanner to 

 delight all readers of the class of tales to which East- 

 bury belongs; and to sustain the reputation as a writer, 

 which Miss Drury so deservedly acquired by her 

 former story. Friends and Fortune. 



The name of the Rev. Charles B. Tuyler would 

 alone have served as a sufficient warrant that The 

 Angel's Svnif, a Christmas Token, is a work of still more 

 serious character, even though the author had not told 

 his readers, in his Envoy, that the tale was written to 

 correct the mistake into which many well-meaniijg 

 people have fallen on the subject of Christmas merri- 

 ment ; and to suggest the spirit in which this sacred 

 season should be celebrated. That the book will be 

 favourably received by the large class of readers to 

 whom it is addressed, there can be little doubt ; and to 

 their attention we accordingly commend it. It is very 

 tastefully got up. 



To the publisher of The Ancjel's Song, Mr. Sampson 

 Low, we arc also indebted for a very stirring and in- 

 teresting book, The Whaleman's Adventtires in the 

 Southern Ocean, edited by the Rev. Di. Scoresby, from 

 the notes of a pious and observant American cler- 

 gyman, whilst embarked, on account of his health, on 

 a whaling voyage to the South Seas and Pacific Ocean. 

 That Dr. Scoresby should think the matter of this 

 work so far novel and interesting, as well as " calculated 

 for conveying useful moral impressions," renders it 

 scarcely necessary to say another word in its recom- 

 mendation. But it has a higher object than mere 

 amusement ; its object is to enforce upon those " who 

 go down to the sea in ships," the duty of *' remembering 

 the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." 



Here our editorial labours have been interrupted by 

 a band of infant critics to whose unprejudiced judg- 

 ments we had entrusted Peter Little and the l.uchy Six- 

 pence, — each begging to be allowed to keep the book. 

 Good reader, do you wish for better criticism ? Wor- 

 thy author of this I'erse Book for Children, do you wish 

 for higher praise ?
