Think Before You Speak, or the Three Wishes: A Tale (Classic Reprint)

Tale is principally taken from the admirable Work of Madame deB eaumont (L eM agazin des Enfans), which formed almost the whole library and the delight of the children of the last generation, and has hardly been surpassed by the many excellent productions which supply the nurseries and school-rooms of the present. The story is there told with the simplicity and sprightliness of which the French language is so peculiarly capable, but which a literal translation would render not only insipid but vulgar.
