OPINIONS OF THK PRESS. 



11 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 work needs only to 

 be known to make its way into families, and it will (at any rate, it ought to) become a 

 favourite Manual in Sunday Schools." Scotsman. 



"A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE." Western Morning News. 



" This attractive and handsome volume . . . written in a simple and transparent

 Freeman. 



"This large and handsome volume, abounding in Illustrations, is just what is wanted.

" There could be few better Presentation Books than this handsome volume." Daily 

 Review. 



" WILL ACCOMPLISH A GOOD WORK." Sunday School Chronicle. 



" In this beautiful volume no more of comment is indulged in than is necessary to the 

 elucidation of the text. Everything approaching Sectarian narrowness is carefully 

 eschewed. " Methodist Magazine. 



"This simple and impressive Narrative . . . succeeds thoroughly in riveting the 

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

 Daily Chronicle. 



"The HISTORICAL SKETCH connecting the Old and New Testaments is a very good 

 idea ; it is a common fault to look on these as distinct histories, instead of as parts of 

 one grand whole. " Christian. 



" Sunday School Teachers and Heads of Families will best know how to value this 

 handsome volume." Northern Whig.
