THE GOOD CHILD'S LIBRARY.

TENTH BOOK.

THE PARABLES OF THE SAVIOUR,

IN EASY VERSE.

WITH BRILLIANT ILLUMINATIONS, FROM ORIGINAL DESIGNS

1851.

PREFACE.

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. While
the children read these verses, they will not only become acquainted
with the principal events in the lives of our Blessed Saviour and His
Apostles--their travels, their sufferings and their death,--but they
will see that the Bible is a readable book, and a book that may be read
every day, without any fear of becoming the unhappy being that some
persons suppose; and besides this, the tone which is given to the
affections, the minds, and the morals of children by such reading, is of
almost infinite value.

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. These pictures are printed in Oil
Colours--an expensive, but a finished and highly artistical process, of
which the publishers are the originators in this country. 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 "GOOD CHILD'S LIBRARY" is composed of the following books:

Scenes in the Life of the Saviour.
Scenes in the Life of St. Peter.
Scenes in the Life of St. John.
Scenes in the Life of St. Paul.
Scenes in the Lives
