 SCRAP BOOK is not restricted to the Months of one year, but as a reference to the Months generally; and beside noticing incidents and customs peculiar to the Months, it comprises instructive and entertaining Pieces, well suited to excite in youth a relish for useful reading.

Before the ripen'd field the reapers stand,

In fair array - each by the lass he loves.

To bear the rougher part, and mitigate

By nameless gentle offices her toil.Thomson.
