er how to easily avoid those evils that have made her life a wretched failure."--_From Introduction._ "A very useful book, for parents who have daughters is 'Hygiene for Girls,' by Irenaeus P. Davis, M.D., published by D. Appleton & Co. And it is just the book for an intelligent, well-instructed girl to read with care. It is not a text-book, nor does it bristle with technical terms. But it tells in simple language just what girls should do and not to do to preserve the health and strength, to realize the joys, and prepare for the duties of a woman's lot. It is written with a delicacy, too, which a mother could hardly surpass in talking with her daughter."--_Christian at Work._ PRICE, $1,25 A VOL.] [IN TWELVE VOLS.

"Interesting as a story-book."--HAZLITT. "I know it well, and have read it with great admiration."--RICHARD GRANT WHITE. "Cobbett's Grammar is probably the most readable grammar ever written. For the purposes of self-education it is unrivaled."--_From the Preface._ Mr. Ayres makes a feature of the fact that WHO and WHICH _are properly the_ CO-ORDINATING _relative pronouns_, and that THAT _is properl
