5. The Helping Hand : 
a Guide to the New Testament. By Adelaide Alexander. With 
Maps and Illustrations. , 
The Author's descriptions are graphic, the style simple, and well adapted to the compre- 
hension of the young ; and a vein of earnest piety runs through the whole book, which has 
the further recommendation of requiring frequent reference to the inspired text itself— an 
exercise which will be found pleasurable, instead of irksome. We cordially stamp this work 
with our approval, as one that is eminently fitted for use in schools and Christian families.*
