MoreThis edition of the Tales and Novels of Miss Edoeworth, which, in conformily with the present prevailing taste, is embellished with plates, will consist of Castle Rackrent, I rish Bulls, The Moral Tales, Popular Tales, Tales of Fashionable Life, The Modem Griselda, Belinda, Leonora, Patronage, Harrington and Ormond, and a few smaller pieces. It is not intended to include in it any of those writings of Miss Edgeworth which are of a more juvenile character than the Moral Tales, a smaller size being deemed more appropriate. Of thel a fitter opportunity for speaking will occur hereafter. At present it is only necessary to say that there are few persons who have not, in their earliest years, experienced the greatest pleasure, and imbibed the highest moral truths, from the perusal of the Early Lessons and The Parent s Assistant Rosamond and Frank, The Little Dog Trusty, and The Cheny Orchard will not be easily forgotten by them; and in their afler-years they will delight to renew, and will profit by renewing, their early acquaintance, by a perusal of woiks from the same pen, but adapted to maturer age. With respect to her woiks of higher pretensions, it may be jusdy said that her Tales and Novels form a class by themselves.
