[Gutenberg 42839] • Popular Tales

The favourable reception accorded to our first introduction of Madame Guizot’s Tales to the English Public, leads us to hope that our youthful readers will welcome with pleasure another volume from the pen of that talented writer. This new series will be found in no respect inferior to the former; one of its tales, certainly, has even a deeper interest than anything contained in that volume, while the same sound morality, elevation of sentiment and general refinement of thought, which so strongly recommend the "Moral Tales" to the sympathies of the Parent and Teacher, will be found equally to pervade the present series.
