Notices of Books, and Miscellanea.

The Children of India; written for the Children of England by one of their Friends. London: Religious Tract Society.

THIS is a charming book; the very best Zenana Primer we have seen. If the Church of Christ is to enter in by the open door which her Lord is setting before her all over the world in the opportunity for women's work amongst women, she must train her young for the service. That is what this book is meant to do. Bright, clear, simple, absorbing, true, its pages will be eagerly read, and not easily forgotten. The type is large, the map clear, the pictures good, and the cover attractive. It is just the book to be read aloud to the children on a Sabbath afternoon. But what pleases us most about it is that it is only the first of a series. The 'Good-bye' chapter invites young readers to say if they would 'like another book about some more children in another country; and if so, which country shall it be?'
