"One of the most charming books of its class that we have ever read. It is even superior to Miss Mulock's well-known work, 'A Woman's Thoughts about Women.'...... Miss Tytler has produced a work which will be popular in many a home when her name has become among her own friends nothing more than a memory." The Morning Herald.

" The most fascinating book we have ever seen for the rising youth of the fair sex. The whole volume is so lively, and yet so serious, that we would disclaim all liking for the young lady who should not fall in love with it."- Eclectic Review.

Miss Tutler's book is worthy of a place in the library of every family."-The Daily News. "We cordially advise those who have girls to put Miss Tytler's 'Papers' into their hands."-The London Review.

"It is long since we opened a book which more thoroughly com mends itself to our judgment than this. It has delighted our paternal soul. Fathers, be sure you buy this book as your next present to your daughters, whatever their years, and do not wait for birthdays." ."-The Patriot.
