THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS.

By the Author of “Mary Powell.”

“Close the curtains, draw the sofa by the fire, fit the ottoman to your feet, and adjust the light.  If the reader be thus prepared he is ready to commence reading ‘The Day of Small Things.’  What is this neat and unpretending volume by the authoress of ‘Mary Powell?’ It is a string of pearls.  Yes.  Yet the simile will not be perfect unless the thread on which they are strung be golden.  Then we will accept the resemblance....  The authoress of ‘Mary Powell,’ and, we add, ’The Day of Small Things,’ feels her own power, and knows how deeply trifles, when judiciously introduced, will tell....  It is a cornucopia filled with rich moral fruits of every kind; and, though small are the hints thrown out here and there, or the advice casually given, still in the aggregate their voice becomes powerful, and we find that we have been reading a powerful lesson while we were scanning the jottings of a diary....  The work is worthy of its author, and will be a general favourite.”—­Atlas.
