'"The Loves of Rose Pink and Sky Blue, and other Stories told to Children," by Dr. W. F. Collier, is one of the most pleasant contributions to this season's literature which comes from the far north.

Written for Children. By A. O. B. Illustrated with Full-page Engravings and Map. 'We have been much pleased with the "Story of the Kings of Judah," which will prove a real boon to children, who so often are compelled to puzzle their little brains over the history of the Kings of Judah and Israel, with the vaguest possible idea of what it all means. This little work gives the best and clearest account we have ever seen, as adapted to the comprehension of children ; and the author is evidently one who has been accustomed to the training of young minds, and knows how to meet their difficulties.' — Churchman's Companion.
