DIRECTIONS FOR PLAIN KNITTING: with additions and corrections for the working Classes and Schools. By RACHEL JANE CATTLOW. Third Thousand. Darton and Clarke, Adams and Co., London. Hyde and Crewe, Newcastle under Lyme, 1847.

EVERY lady, who has the graceful and time-honoured taste of Penelope should favour this little but valuable publication. We of course are not professed in the ancient mystery and most useful handicraft of knitting; but the least learned on the subject may perceive the intrinsic merits of this pleasing production. Its sale has, too, already reached a third thousand -a strong proof of its ability; it fully deserves to number thousands and thousands to come, for one feature of it is that it adapts itself to the working classes, and in these industrious days, no cottager ought to be without it. How many ladies now vie with each other in ornamental work, and, armed with their needles, perform wonders in the production of fanciful decoration. They too may not deem a little knitting unworthy their attention, though of plain and homely character, for its utility is great indeed. To them this book will be of service also.

We touch not on its feminine contents, further than extracting the following quaint address with which the skilful lucubration commences;

FROM A DAME TO HER SCHOLARS.

""Tis seventy years, or thereabouts,
Since I was taught to knit ;

And on a cricket I was placed

By our good dame to sit.

My needles were of wire that bent,
Not like your steel so polished;
And to my frock a sheath was pinned,
Which now is quite abolished.

A bit of worsted served my turn,
Which twirled and twisted sadly;

Strutt's good brown cotton, in those days,
Would have been hailed most gladly.

Now your old dame gives this advice
To the rising generation,

That, whilst children are young, they learn to knit,
Whatever may be their station.

I think, if you will give good heed

To the following explanations,

You'll find that your stockings, and socks, and gloves
Will answer your expectations."
