French Periodicals for Schools, Families, etc. MON JOURNAL. A New High-Class Weekly Paper for Young Children (from 8 to 12 years.) (With numerous Illustrations printed in Colours.) : S. d. Free by post to any part of the United Kingdom, for one year (Subscriptions commence from the 1st of January, April, July or October.) Mon Journal publie des romans, des anecdotes, des contes, des pantomimes qu'on peut aisément jouer et des histoires sans paroles. Il contient aussi des articles d'actualité où il traite, en les mettant à la portée des enfants, les questions dont tout le mond parle, des chroniques scientifiques où les découvertes de la science, susceptibles d'être comprises par les petits lecteurs, sont expliquées et commentées. Mon Journal enfin ouvre chaque mois entre ses lecteurs d'attrayants concours dont les prix sont en général de beaux volumes, mais peuvent parfois réserver aux lauréats de véritables surprises. "A singularly attractive magazine for young people. The variety of matter is very great and the stories and short articles, almost without an exception, are enlivened by the French esprit. There are tales of war and sport and fairy fancies; and legends of the past are pleasantly contrasted with humourous incidents of everyday life. In the way of instruction combined with adventure, we are taken into forests and coal mines, we make ascent in balloons, and undertake subterraneous voyages in gaily decorated launches. There is a profusion of coloured plates; the greater number are good and effective . . . the innumerable drawings in black and white are deserving of high praise. Some are struck sharply out in slight but significant outline, and in others there is remarkable delicacy of touch with subdued softness of tone."-The Times. "Messrs. Hachette have just published the bound volume of Mon Journal, than which a better magazine for children of eight and ten years old does not exist. The stories are good, and there is also an excellent series of papers on gold, glass-making, etc. The illustrations are admirably printed in colours, some of them being of real artistie merit. It is a pity this magazine is not more generally known in English households; to the children who have not mastered French sufficiently to enjoy reading, it would be an incentive to do so, while to those better informed it would be a lasting pleasure."— Guardian. "A bright collection of stories, anecdotes, papers on different subjects of interest to children between eight and twelve years of age, the coloured illustrations being a most pleasing feature of the work. English juveniles may well dip into these pages and sharpen their knowledge of French."."-Graphic. LA PETITE REVUE (for full particulars see page 61). [Continued on next page. |
