 Actual need has led the author to endeavour to prepare a reading book con- 

 venient for study with children, containing the ^ery words of the Bible, with 

 only a few expedient omissions, and arranged in Lessons of such length as by 

 experience she has found to suit with children's ordinary power qf accurate 

 attentive interest. The verse form has been retained, because of its con- 

 venience for children reading in class, and as more resembling their Bibles ; 

 but the poetical portions have been given in their lines. When Psalms or 

 portions from the Prophets illustrate or fall in with the narrative they are 

 given in their chronological sequence. The Scripture portion, with a very 

 fi.w notes explanatory of mere words, is bound up apart, to be used by 

 children, while the same is also supplied with a brief comment, the purpose 

 of which is either to assist the teacher in explaining the lesson, or to be 

 used by more advanced young people to whom it may not be possible to give 

 access to the authorities whence it has been taken. Professor Huxley, at a 

 meeting of the London School Board, particularly mentioned the selection 

 made by Miss Yonge as an example of how selections might be made from 

 the Bible for School Reading. See Times, March ^o, 1871.
