The following Extracts, from the different Reviews, are inserted as testimonials in favour of the Work.

"We have no space to enter upon the subject of early juvenile delinquency, to the consideration of which, Mr. Wilderspin's book naturally invites us, and for the prevention of which, Infant Schools seem to present a more hopeful remedy, than most other plans which have been suggested. Our author shall relate, in his own way, one of his adventures, in his benevolent rambles, which will furnish a good commentary on all that has been stated both in and out of parliament, on this great moral and national question."

"We cordially approve of the plan, particularly as due care seems to be taken for the exercise, amusement, and health of the little pupils; and we hope a cheap edition of this book will be printed, for cirenlation through the country, whereby it

may prove

national benefit."

"We found it impossible to lay the book down until we had read the whole, and were, in consequence, induced to take the earliest opportunity of visiting the School, a visit which afforded the highest gratification."
