and "Light of the World," are books which we should be glad to see in the hands of every child. They are written in a chaste and simple style; and are imbued with good sense-the best philosophy for children. Each teaches an excellent lesson, in a manner that affords pleasure to the youthful mind, while it makes an impression not likely to be soon effaced. That whose imprint they bear is the most liberal of all our religious societies; it is proverbially so much so, that it is but rarely, if ever, that it issues a book to which any denomination of Christians could object on sectarian grounds.
