“ OF THE SOWER.
Behold a sower going forth To scatter o'er his field,

The fowls of heaven descried them there, And soon the seed were gone. ”

“ The object of the "GOOD CHILD'S LIBRARY," is to encourage a taste for Scripture reading, by presenting some of the most interesting portions of the New Testament narrative, in the attractive form of verse.

“ 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.

Each history is illustrated handsomely with them.
There is in all twelve books; each book being complete in itself, and containing a full history. ”

“ The Publishers have in preparation another series, embracing Scenes in the Lives of the Patriarchs, Prophets, and Kings, illustrative of the Old Testament Scriptures, to be gotten up in the same style as the present series. ”
