HT FOR. III. THE POOR ORGAN-GRINDER, AND OTHER STORIES. IV. OUR SUE: HER MOTTO AND ITS USES. V. MIKE MARBLE: HIS CROTCHETS AND ODDITIES. VI. THE WONDERFUL LETTER-BAG OF KIT CURIOUS. "Woodworth is unquestionably and immeasurably the best writer for children that we know of; for he combines a sturdy common sense and varied information with a most childlike and loveful spirit, that finds its way at once to the child's heart. We regard him as one of the truest benefactors of his race; for he is as wise as he is gentle, and never uses his power over the child-heart, to instill into it the poison of false teaching, or to cramp it with unlovely bigotry. The publishers have done their part, as well as the author, to make these volumes attractive. Altogether we regard them as one of the pleasantest series of juvenile books extant, both in their literary character and mechanical execution."--_Syracuse (N.Y.) Daily Standard._ WOODWORTH'S STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS. 12mo., with Illuminated Title, and upwards of Fifty Beautiful Engravings; pp. 336. WOODWORTH'S STORIES ABOUT BIRDS. Uniform with the above. With Sixty splendid Engravings; pp. 336. These two volumes, containing characteristic anecdotes, told in a racy and pleasing vein, are among the most entertaining books of the kind to be found in the English language. "Attractive stories, told in a style of great liveliness and beauty. As a writer for the young, the author is surpassed by very few, if any writers in this country."--_N.Y. Tribune._ "A _melange_ of most agreeable reading."--_Presbyterian._ "They cannot fail to be intensely interesting."--_Ch. Register._ "Charming stories, told with that felicitous simplicity and elegance of diction which characterize all Mr. Woodworth's efforts for the young."--_N.Y. Commercial Advertiser._ "Nothing can be more interesting than the stories and pictorial illustrations of these works."--_Brattleborough Dem._ "We never pen a notice with more pleasure than when any work of our friend Mr. Woodworth is the subject. Whatever he does is well done, and in a sweet and gentle spirit."--_Christ. Inquirer._ "The author is a man of fine abilities and refined taste, and does his work in a spirit of vivacious, but most truthful earnestness."--_Ladies' Repos._ UNCLE FRANK'S PEEP AT THE BEASTS.
