"Mr. Wells has in these volumes been content to restrict himself to an endeavour to win and instruct the young. He has done this with admirable skill, with great transparency of meaning, vividness of treatment and nicety of discrimination, combined with a befitting freedom and an impressive earnestness."--_Literary World_.

"Mr. Wells contrives by a studied plainness of diction, by the simplicity and directness of his style, by his evident earnestness and kindliness, and a wealth of illustrative anecdotes, to minimise the difficulties which children have to encounter in grasping new and especially abstract ideas."--_Scotsman_.

BIBLE HISTORY FOR THE YOUNG.

+"THE WORD" SERIES.+

By SUSAN and ANNA WARNER, Authors of "The Wide, Wide World," "Queechy," &c.

_With Illustrations, Plain and Coloured. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. each_.

The aim of this Series of Volumes is so to set forth the Bible incidents and course of history, with its train of actors, as to see them in the circumstances and colouring, the light and shade, of their actual existence.

The volumes embody, as far as possible, all the known facts, natural, social, and historical, which are required for the illustration and elucidation of the Bible narrative.

1. WALKS FROM EDEN: The Scripture Story from the Creation to the Death of Abraham.

2. THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: The Scripture Story from the Birth of Isaac to the Death of Jacob.

3. THE KINGDOM OF JUDAH: The Scripture Story from the Death of Solomon to the Captivity.

4. THE BROKEN WALLS OF JERUSALEM AND THE REBUILDING OF THEM. In continuation of "The House of Israel" and "The Kingdom of Judah," and completing the work.

5. THE STAR OUT OF JACOB: The Scripture Story Illustrating the Earlier Portion of the Gospel Narrative.

"These five books form a most comprehensive and attractive commentary on the Scriptures suited to the requirements of the young. More real knowledge in true child language, and within the understanding of children, it has never been our privilege to meet with before. We are disposed to envy those young friends who are fortunate enough to number them among their literary possessions, for although pre-eminently children's books, they are yet well able to impart instruction to children of a larger growth."--_Rock_.

"There is a pleasant freshness and reality conveyed to the old, well-worn stories, which will make children understand the details of Eastern life and the manners and customs of the old pastoral times. 'The Word' Series will be a charming gift to young people."--_Athenæum_.

"We doubt whether any one has ever told 'the old, old story' more attractively, for children at least, than the author of 'The Wide, Wide World.' Whatever fame she may have won by her works of fiction will be greatly increased by her success in writing these marvellous stories."--_Christian World_.

THE GOLDEN LADDER SERIES.

_With Illustrations. Handsomely bound in cloth, gilt edges. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. each_.

"Children welcome with glee the volumes comprised in Nisbet's 'Golden Ladder Series,' for they are full of interest, even though they are stories with a moral, which is always a high-toned one."--_Liverpool Courier_.

"'The Golden Ladder Series' of story-books, so much appreciated for their excellence. They can be all safely recommended to the notice of teachers as being especially suitable as rewards, while no school library can be said to be complete without a selection from them."--_Schoolmaster_.

"It will be heartily welcomed. The subjects are well selected; the style is always simple and forcible, and the lessons which the preacher desires to impress upon the mind are such as every youthful reader may appreciate. The sermons have another merit--that of brevity. A child may read them with a good deal of pleasure, and, it need hardly be said, with much profit."--_Scotsman_.

"The sermonettes are simple, suggestive, and singularly happy in illustration and treatment."--_Word and Work_.

"All these fifty-three sermons and parables are worth reading, and would seem admirable either as models for addresses to children, or for reading in the home circle."--_Church Bells_.

"Full of nature and of life, and flashing with happy illustrations. "_--Christian World._

"Brief, fresh, and often original in thought. A preacher to children will find many suggestions and ideas in these discourses."--_Literary Churchman_.

"Fifty-three brief addresses to children. Direct, as such things should be; clear, as they must always be; and interesting, as, if any good is to be done, they are bound to be--they contain a collection of truths which children ought to be taught, and the teacher is always bright and clear, which is saying a great deal."--_Church Bells_.

"One of the most beautiful and helpful books we know of for ministers and others who are called upon to address the young."--_Methodist New Connexion Magazine._

FROM THE PREFACE.

"Miss Edith Ralph, in this little book, shows herself exceptionally skilful in her delicate task.... The tone and spirit of her pages seem to me admirably suited to her subject--simple, tender, gentle, wise, and full of sweet Christian love, they point the little ones invitingly to heaven, and lead the way.... Nor is the careful and well-informed intelligence wanting which is needed to make the first steps in Bible knowledge a preparation for safe and healthy progress in it hereafter."
