Opinion of the Press. ↑

The following is a type of the opinion formed of the FAMILY FRIEND, and expressed by upwards of THREE HUNDRED NEWSPAPERS:

"There never was a book which more honestly earned its title, or more fully satisfied the expectations which that title would lead one to form of its character, than the Family Friend, the volumes of which, beautifully got out, are now before us. Those who have seen a copy of the work will bear us out in our statement, that a more useful and generally entertaining family library book has never been published. It contains a fund of information that it would be difficult to find elsewhere in the same compass. There are tales for the Children; cookery, and other household recipes for Mamma; chess problems for Papa; poetry and crochet for the young Ladies; enigmas, anagrams, and charades for the young Gentlemen to exercise their ingenuity on; and a large quantity of miscellaneous reading to suit all tastes."

The great success of THE FAMILY FRIEND during three years, and the constant desire of its Subscribers for a more frequent issue, have influenced the Proprietors to commence a NEW SERIES, to be ISSUED WEEKLY,

Commencing SATURDAY, the 3rd of JULY, 1852.

Weekly Numbers, price 2d.; Monthly Parts, price 9d.; Quarterly Volumes, price 2s. 6d.
