every day, without any fear of becoming the unhappy being that some
persons suppose; and besides this, the tone which is given to the
affections, the minds, and the morals of children by such reading, is of
almost infinite value.

In order to combine things pleasing and things useful, to the greatest
possible extent, the publishers have gotten up at a great expense,
especially for this work, some of the most beautiful Scripture designs
that have ever been published. These pictures are printed in Oil
Colours--an expensive, but a finished and highly artistical process, of
which the publishers are the originators in this country. Each history
is illustrated handsomely with them.

There is in all twelve books; each book being complete in itself, and
containing a full history.
