Opinions of the Press. 



" A book which, once taken up, is not easily laid down. When the volume Is opened, 

 we are fairly caught. Not to speak of the well-executed wood engravings, which will 

 each tell its story, we find a simple version of the main portions of the Bible, all that may 

 most profitably be included in a work intended at once to instruct and charm the young 

 — a version couched in the simplest, purest, most idiomatic English, and executed 

 throughout with good taste, and in the most reverential spirit. The ivork needs only ta 

 be kno7V}i to make its way into fajnilies, and it will (at any rate, it oit^^ht to) become a 

 favourite Manual in Sunday Schools." — Scotsman. 



"A Household Treasure." — Western Morning News.

 style. . . . Mr. Foster's explanations and comments are models of teaching."—

 attention of children ; . . . admirably adapted for reading in the Home Circle." —

 one grand whole." — Christian.
