445 



the pens of American authors or translators, 

 besides the large number of reprints. The 

 productions, some of them of great value, is- 

 sued by the English societies and publishers 

 who make such works a specialty, are repub- 

 lished here with great regularity, and swell 

 the supply of juvenile literature. Respecting 

 that portion of the mass which is of American 

 origin, the impression gained by a pretty ex-

 increases year by year. There is still room 

 for improvement. The largeness of the demand 

 makes purchasers too undiscrirninating. But 

 the amount of wholesome sometimes whole- 

 sale criticism that has been directed to the 

 subject of literature for children, has had a 

 salutary effect upon its purveyors, and every 

 year a larger number of able and accomplished 

 writers turn their attention to this department 

 of writing.
