Child Pictures from Dickens. (Griffith, Ferran and Co.)—This is a

volume of extracts from Dickens of some of the most famous of the children (the word being used rather widely, for it includes Smike and Florence Dombey) that are portrayed in Dickens's tales. Besides the two mentioned, we have Little Nell and the Marchioness, Paul Dombey, Tiny Tim, and Oliver Twist. Some of the illustrations, as that of "Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim," are good; others, as "Dr. Blimber " and " Florence and Diogenes," of moderate merit.
