childhood, many persons might have the satisfaction
of carrying through life a clear and connected idea of the biographies
of Jesus, and of the nature of the external evidence in their favor,
instead of remaining in vague uncertainty on the whole subject.
Bringing into a simple and popular form, and small compass,
information not hitherto accessible, except to a limited number of
persons, the 'Gospel Narratives' will be interesting to the general
reader, whether youthful or adult. It must, without doubt, be
introduced in all our Sunday Schools, and will rank among the most
important manuals."
NAOMI; or Boston Two Hundred Years Ago. A Tale of the Quaker
Persecution in New England. By ELIZA BUCKMINSTER LEE, Author of "The
Life of Jean Paul." Second Edition. 12mo. pp. 324. Price, 75 cents.
The first edition of this popular book was exhausted within a month
after its publication.
"Mrs. Lee has given the public a most agreeable book. Her style is

illustrative of the facts and manners of the olden time."--_Christian
Inquirer._
