" Perhaps the most beautiful and touching work of fiction ever written, with the exception of 

 Vailine."— Atlas. 



" The same publishers have shown their patriotism, common sense, and good taste by putting 

 forth their fourtli edition of tins worlc, with a set of very beautiful engraved embellisiunents. There 

 never was a book which better deserved the compliment. It is one of greatly superior merit to 

 Paul and Virginia, and we believe it is destined to surpass that popular work of St. Pierre in popu- 

 larity. It is better suited to the advanced ideas of the present age, and possesses peculiar moral 

 charms in whicii Paul and Virginia is deficient. St. Pierre's work derived its popularity from its 

 bold attark on feudal prejudices; Saintine's strikes deeper, and assiiils the secret infidebty which 

 is the bane of mcnlern society, in its stronghold. A thousand editions of Picciola will not be too 

 many for its merit." — Lady's Book. 



"This IS a little gem of its kind— a beautiful conceit, beautifully unfolded and applied. The style 

 and plot of tins truly channnit; story ri-quire no criticism ; we will only express the wish that those 

 who rely on works of fiction for tlieir intellectual food, may always nud those as pure in language 

 and beautiful in moral as Picciola." — New York Review. 



" The present edition is got up in beautiful style, with illustrations, and reflects credit upon the 

 publishers. We recommend to tho.se of our readers who were not fortunate enough to meet with 

 Picciola sowe years ago, wlien it was first translated, and for a season all the rage, to lose no time 

 in procunnir it now— and to those wlw read it then, but do not possess a copy, to embrace the op- 

 portumty of sui)plying themselves fromtlie present very excellent editiou."—Saiurduy Evening Post. 



" A new edition of this exquisite story has recently been issued by Messrs. Lea <Si Blanchard, 

 embellished and illustrated in the most elegant maimer. We understand that the work was com- 

 pletely out of print, and a new edition will then be welcomed. It contains a dehghtful letter from 

 the author, giving a painfid msight into the personal history of the characters who figure in the 

 story." — Evening Bulletin. 



" The most charming work we have read for many a da.y."~-Richmond Enquirer.
