They place her beside the
Edgeworths, and the Barbaulds, and the Opies, who have so long delighted
and instructed us; and there is little doubt, that as she becomes known,
so will her works be valued as highly as any of the most popular works
of the above justly-famed authors, causing her name to become a
"Household Word" as a pleasing and instructive writer.

Sandford and Merton.
New edition, entirely revised and corrected. Printed in large type, with
eight illustrations by Measom. Foolscap 8vo., cloth, gilt, with
emblematical tooling on back and sides, gilt edges, 4s.
The SAME EDITION, plain cloth, 3s. 6d.
"In this new edition of this work, a performance that has charmed,
instructed, and ennobled the young hearts and minds of generation after
generation for more than half a century, with a constantly increasing
celebrity, all that has been attempted is to 'rub off a little of the
rust of age,' or, in other words, to give the work a few such slight
touches as Mr. Day might himself have been disposed to give it, had he
lived at a period so justly fastidious as the present. The
illustrations, too, will, it is presumed, be found more in accordance
with existing taste than with that of the times which are past.
