_GIANNETTA:_
A Girl's Story of Herself. By ROSA MULHOLLAND. With 8 full-page Illustrations by LOCKHART BOGLE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50.
The daughter of an Anglo-Irish gentleman, who had married a poor Swissgirl, was stolen as an infant by some of her mother's relatives. Thechild having died, they afterwards for the sake of gain substituteanother child for it, and the changeling, after becoming a clevermodeller of clay images, is suddenly transferred to the position of arich heiress. She develops into a good and accomplished woman, andthough the imposture of her early friends is finally discovered, she hasgained too much love and devotion to be really a sufferer by thesurrender of her estates.
"Extremely well told and full of interest. Giannetta is a true heroine--warm-hearted, self-sacrificing, and, as all good women nowadays are, largely touched with the enthusiasm of humanity. The illustrations are unusually good, and combine with the binding and printing to make this one of the most attractive gift-books of the season."--_The Academy._
"No better book could be selected for a young girl's reading, as its object is evidently to hold up a mirror, in which are seen some of the brightest and noblest traits in the female character."--_Schoolmistress._
