By W. F. Lloyd, 108 pages, 18mo. EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS. "This book contains much wholesome advice that may be well worth the attention of numerous teachers who have been long in office, and abounds in precepts, which, if reduced to general practice, would greatly improve our Sunday schools."-Imperial Magazine. To all (teachers) we recommend this volume, which is a concentration of theoretical and experimental knowledge on the subject [of Sunday schools.] Mr. Lloyd has produced a work peculiarly adapted for Sabbath school teachers. The directions he has laid down may be studied with advantage, and followed with success" by Sunday school teachers, "and therefore we earnestly recommend this little volume to their careful perusal."-Sabbath School Magazine for Scotland. "Out of the voluminous materials which the improvements in conducting Sunday schools have furnished, it was no easy task to select, and judiciously arrange, in a small compass, the most essential rules and principles to guide the teacher in the discharge of his important duties; and at the same time, to deliver these instructions with an air of mingled kindness and authority. This, however, Mr. Lloyd has accomplished in a manner, which, we think, will be highly acceptable to at least a very large proportion of the ninety thousand teachers,' who might be benefited by a perusal of his book."-Am. Sunday School Mag. PIERRE AND HIS FAMILY; or, A STORY OF THE WALDENSES, by the author of "Lily Douglas."-Price 35 cents. Extracts from Reviews. "The reader will find in this little volume a power of description, that will not suffer by comparison with the very best specimens of that species of composition which are to be found in the works above all others famed for it-the Waverley Novels;' while these descriptions have an accompaniment which thegreat Magician,' as he has been affectedly called, is incapable of giving a tone of moral reflection, as rich and true to the feelings of genuine Christianity, as her descriptions are to the scenery of nature. Considered merely as a work of genius, it merits a high degree of praise; and among the productions of fancy, one that exhibits an imagination more rich, more soft and sweet, will not easily be found."-Edinburgh Christian Instructor, October, 1823. "We are happy to meet again with the author of the beautiful story of Lily Douglas,' in the equally instructing and useful narrative of Pierre and his Family.' We have already expressed our opinion of the talents of the author of this work, and the present performance bears ample testimony to the justice of that opinion. *** It is unnecessary for us to say much in commendation of her writings; they possess intrinsic merit sufficient to secure for them a lasting reputation."-New Evangelical Magazine, September, 1823. |
