DIAZ, A. (M.).
*The William Henry Letters.
Lothrop. 1.00
Written by William Henry during the two years he was away at school.

standards, abounds in homely common-sense, and is very funny.

"Fairies were not much in her line," says Mrs. Richmond Ritchie,
Thackeray's daughter, "but philanthropic manufacturers, (p. 111)

from town after town, in answer to the question, and all in the
same tone: 'Yes, yes; publish the adventures of the Peterkin
family.
