The above is a full list, compiled from the seven lists sent in. Some
of the very minor books have been left out. Lucy Robinson takes the
prize. Mrs. Lane's reading is the more varied, and shows a wider range;
but Miss Robinson's method is clear and well-classified. She also gives
the fullest list. All are very interesting.
