THE

BOY'S AND GIRL'S LIBRARY.

Numbers already Published.—Each Work can be had separately.

LIVES OF THE APOSTLES AND EARLY MARTYRS OF THE CHURCH. 18mo. [No. I. of the Boy's and Girl's Library. Designed for Sunday Reading.]

This, as well as some of the subsequent numbers of the Boy's and Girl's Library, is especially designed for Sunday reading, and the object of the writer has been to direct the minds of youthful readers to the Bible, by exciting an interest in the lives and actions of the eminent apostles and martyrs who bore testimony to the truth of their missions and of the Redeemer by their preaching and their righteous death. The style is beautifully simple, and the narrative is interspersed with comments and reflections remarkable for their devout spirit, and for the clearness with which they elucidate whatever might appear to the tender mind either contradictory or unintelligible. It is impossible for any child to read these affecting histories without becoming interested; and the interest is so directed and improved as to implant and foster the purest principles of religion and morality. The most esteemed religious publications throughout the Union have united in cordial expressions of praise to this as well as the other Scriptural numbers of the Library, and the publishers have had the gratification of receiving from individuals eminent for piety, the warmest com mendations not only of the plan, but also of the manner in which it has been so far executed.

THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON; OR, ADVEN TURES OF A FATHER AND MOTHER AND FOUR SONS ON A DESERT ISLAND. In 2 vols. 18mo. [Nos. II. & III. of the Boy's and Girl's Library.]

The purpose of this pleasing story is to convey instruction in the arts and Natural History, and, at the same time, to inculcate by example principles which tend to the promotion of social happiness. Every one has read or heard of Robinson Crusoe, and the unrivalled and long-continued popularity of that admirable narrative, proves that the tastes and feelings to which it addresses itself are among the strongest and most universal which belong to human nature. The adventures of the Swiss family are somewhat similar in character, and, of course, in in terest; d they illustrate, in the most forcible and pleasing manner, the efficacy of piety, industry, ingenuity, and goodtemper, in smoothing difficulties and procuring enjoyments under the most adverse circumstances. The story abounds with instruction and entertainment, and well deserves the high encomium that has been passed upon it, of being one of the best children's books ever written.

"This little work is so much of a story, that it will seem a relaxation rather than a school-task, and at the same time it will give the juvenile reader more practical instruction in natural history, economy, and the means of contriving and helping one's self, than many books of the very best pretensions in the department of instruction."-Boston Daily Advocate.

"We do not think a parent could select a more acceptable or judicious gift."-New-Haven Religious Intelligencer.

"The story has all that wild charm of adventure and discovery which has made Robinson Crusoe such a wonder to every generation since it was written."-Baptist Repository.

"This work is interesting and truly valuable."-U. S. Gazette. "Well calculated to claim the attention of the interesting part of the community to which it is addressed."-N. Y Advocate.
