FARRAR, MRS.,

Wife of Professor Farrar, of Harvard University, America, has written several works of merit. Warmly interested in the cause of human improvement, she has prepared her books for the young, and chiefly for those of her own sex. "The Life of Lafayette," "The Life of Howard," "Youth's Letter Writer," "The Children's Robinson Crusoe," and a number of others, well known to the children of New England are her works. But her most important production is "The Young Lady's Friend," published in 1837, one of the best manuals of its kind extant. The work has been lately revised, the first set of stereotype plates having been worn out, which is a sure proof of the popularity of this excellent book.
