NEW LIGHT THROUGH OLD WINDOWS.

A Series of Stories illustrating Fables of Asop. By Grecson
Gow. With 2 full-page Pictures in colours. Crown 8vo,

A series of stories designed to bring before the young mind, in a new
and entertaining form, some of the shreds of wit and wisdom which have
come down to us from ancient times in the guise of fables. Although
amusement has been a chief end aimed at, most of the tales will be found
to suggest some important truth, or teach some sound lesson in practical
morality.

“The most delightfully-written little stories one can easily find in the literature

A story of city life, in which, though the chief aim is to amuse through
the recital of interesting events and the exhibition of original and humor-
ous character, the reader may see something of the spirit in which mis-
fortune should be met, find an illustration of the maxim that ‘‘ Heaven
helps those who help themselves,” receive an impulse towards kindliness
of deed and charity of thought, and fall on sundry other things worth
knowing and noting.
