A practical guide to the English kinder-garten (children's garden) : for the use of mothers, nursery governesses, and infant teachers : being an exposition of Froebel's system of infant training : accompaniedby a great variety of instructive and amusing games, and industrial and gymnastic exercises, also numerous songs, set to music and arranged to the exercises . a well, a mine, &c., and much valuable instruction may be given in connec-tion with them. The illustrations of developed power, as given in Plate XIX., are capable of afford-ing much delight, and exciting the enquiring mind to thoughtfulness. We have seen children after having formed winding stairs, such as No. 80 and 81,Plate XXL, examine them on all sides, and wonder why they did not fall, press uponeach step with their little fingers, place small objects upon them, and look on all sides tosee where the stairs would give way first. With this Gift a very interesting village may be made by the co-operation of a class,and much valuable instruction conveyed by the teacher while commenting on the variousparts. The forms of beauty are similar in many respects to the previous Gift,—they admitof greater variety in consequence of the different appearance of the parts when placedflat on one side or on one end. The general remarks in the Third Gift, however, apply equally to this. rviii.
