Miss Edgewokth’s Opinion of the Parents’ Cabinet:—
"I almost feel afraid of praising it as much as I think it deserves. . . . There is so much
variety in the book that it cannot tire. It alternately excites and relieves attention,and does not lead
to the bad habit ot frittering away the mind by requiring no exertion from the reader. . . . Whoever
vour scientific associate is, he understands his business and children’s capabilities right well. . . .
Without lecturing, or prosing, you keep the right and the wrong clearly marked, and hence all
the sympathy of the young people is always enlisted on the right side."
