"Turning over the pages of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, we have come to this conclusion, that it must be a dull child who will not find materials in it for A delightful miscellany, instructive amusing, and of marvellous diversity.'-SATURDAY REVIEW. merry and happy hours.'-GRAPHIC.

Harper's Young People is more popular in price and less luxurious in get-up, but it contains more matter, and is so admirably edited and written that it can hold its own against all rivals........ The clever and laughable humorous woodcuts are a special feature, and so is the "Post Office," which enables young readers in all parts of the world to exchange confidences with each other.'-MANCHESTER EXAMINER.

'Captain Abney may be cordially congratulated on having succeeded in a by no means easy task......The portraits, as a rule, are both excellent as likenesses and admirable as photographs.'-ATHENAEUM.

'Mr. Cunningham has done well...... in bringing together a series of lives of the great guides of the Alps, written as far as possible each by the amateur in whose company the guide most frequently worked...... The time is propitious for the appearance of such a work......The volume in question would be but half noticed if one omitted to mention the remarkably fine series of portraits and other illustrations with which it is embellished.'-ACADEMY.

The QUARTERLY REVIEW said of the original Edition: These sparkling gems of wit have stood the test of more than half a century, and still their brilliancy is undimmed; nor, indeed, is their lustre likely to be tarnished by age. Mr. Edmonds, the Editor, has acquitted himself ably of his task.'
