PUBLISHERS' NOTICE.

In the advertisement prefixed to the series of volumes already
published, under the title of the "GOOD CHILD'S LIBRARY," the publishers
gave notice of their intention to issue another series, similar in
character and design, to be devoted to subjects from the Old Testament,
as the other had been to the New. In fulfilment of this notice they have
issued the present series, embellished like the Good Child's Library,
with an entire new set of Illustrations, executed in Oil Colors, in the
best manner. The additional attraction given thereby will, they trust,
obtain for it the same favor as has already been bestowed upon the
former series.

The volumes composing the SCENES AND NARRATIVES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
are separate and distinct from each other, having no other connection

different works.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN,
THE FLOOD,
DISPERSION OF MANKIND,
DEPARTURE OF THE ISRAELITES,
HISTORY OF ABRAHAM,
HISTORY OF ISAAC,
HISTORY OF JACOB,
HISTORY OF JOSEPH,
HISTORY OF MOSES,
HISTORY OF JOSHUA,
HISTORY OF SAMUEL,
HISTORY OF DAVID.
