Children’s Authors.

If a statue should be erected to the memory of John Newbery, the pioneer of children's literature, as has been suggested by a writer, another statue should be placed by its side of the late Edmund Evans, for to him we owe the beamy and character of the modern children's books. He may be said to have discovered Kate Greenaway and Randolph Caldeco'i. He in their genius, encouraged them to work, printed their pictures, by his own special color process, at his presses in Fleet street, and saw their many ventures through to success. —London Chronicle.
