4 THE EELIGIOUS TEACT SOCIETY. 



NEW SEEIES OF BOOKS. 



The Committee of the Religious Tract Society have long been 

 convinced that a new series of Books for Schools and Families 

 was greatly needed. Many of the works now in use have much 

 merit, but they are generally destitute of that truth by which 

 alone the understanding can be enlightened, the heart renovated, 

 and the feet guided in "the paths of peace." It is to provide 

 books adapted to supply this deficiency that the present effort 

 is made. The pens of several esteemed writers have been secured 

 for this series. 



In works of History, the object will be carefully to exclude 

 those details which are objectionable, and to view all events as 

 under the control of Divine Providence. In Biography, the con- 

 duct of men will be estimated, not by the maxims of this world, 

 as in most other publications, but by the only infallible standard, 

 the word of God. In every book of general instruction, sound 

 information will be imparted, on decidedly Christian principles. 



The following have been published, in 12mo., strongly bound 

 in cloth, sprinkled edges. 



THE HISTORY OF ROME, with Maps, 3s. 



THE HISTORY OF GREECE, with Map, Is. 6tf.
