POINTS FROM LETTERS

AN EXPENSIVE MEAL.

Original Poems for Infant Minds was not published in 1859, but before even you were born : in 1800, by Darton and Harvey, Gracechurch Street. The verses were by Ann and Jane Taylor. Mr. E. V. Lucas edited a centenary edition in 1906. So far as I know, the book has not been out of print since 1806. Most of the poems which record incidents were based upon facts.—.P. J. HARVEY DARTON, Kent.
