Yonge's Preface to Gold Dust

This little book is a translation from a collection of devotional thoughts published in France under the title of "Paillettes d'Or." It is necessarily a selection, since the gold dust which suits French readers requires a fresh sifting for the English; but the value of most of the thoughts seems to me well to deserve the term of gold. There are many who will much enjoy having
this little collection on their table, so as to be able to take it up and dwell upon some one of its grains at leisure times throughout the day's business.
C. M. YONGE.
