"I never wanted articles on religious subjects half so much as articles on common subjects, written with a decidedly Christian tone."-DR. ARNOLD.

THIS series is adapted to the new development and growing intelligence of the times. With the exception of a few reprints, it is ORIGINAL; from the pens of authors of ability in their respective departments in literature and science:-SCRIPTURAL; in the principles in which they are written :-POPULAR; in their style; so that instead of being limited to one class of the community, they are generally acceptable :-PORTABLE; serving as "hand-books" abroad and at home:-and ECONOMICAL; the twelve volumes of a year costing less than three half-pence per week. Thus while the MONTHLY SERIES is fully adapted to the educated FAMILIES of our land, to DAY and SUNDAY SCHOOLS, and to the LIBRARIES of mechanics and others, they supply interesting and valuable reading to a large number of the people, who can only spare time enough for the perusal of a small volume, and whose means will not allow of a more costly purchase.

THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.

EDUCATIONAL SERIES.

THE Committee of the Religious Tract Society have long been convinced that a new series of Books for Schools and Families was greatly needed. Many of the works now in use have much merit, but they are generally destitute of that truth by which alone the understanding can be enlightened, the heart renovated, and the feet guided in "the paths of peace." It is to provide books adapted to supply this deficiency that the present effort is made.

In works of History, the object has been carefully to exclude those details which are objectionable, and to view all events as under the control of Divine Providence. In Biography, the conduct of men is estimated, not by the maxims of this world, as in most other publications, but by the only infallible standard, the word of God. In every book of general instruction, sound information is imparted, on decidedly Christian principles.

The following have been published, in 12mo., strongly bound in cloth, sprinkled edges.

THE BIBLE HANDBOOK: an Introduction to the Study of the Sacred Scriptures. By JOSEPH ANGUS, D.D. With a Map. 58.

THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND: to the Year 1852. With Summaries of the State of the People at different Periods; their Maritime Operations, Commerce, Literature, and Political Progress. For Schools and Families. By the Rev. T. MILNER, A.M., F.R.G.S. 12mo. With two Maps. 58.

THE HISTORY OF ROME, with Maps, 3s.

THE HISTORY OF GREECE, with Map, 2s. 6d.

LIVES OF ILLUSTRIOUS GREEKS, 3s.

PALEY'S EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY, with Introduction, Notes, and Supplement, by the Rev. T. R. BIRKS, A.M., 38. PALEY'S HORÆ PAULINÆ; with HORÆ APOSTOLICE, by the Rev. T. R. BIRKS, A.M., 3s.

A UNIVERSAL GEOGRAPHY, in Four Parts: Historical, Mathematical, Physical, and Political. By the Rev. THOMAS MILNER, F.R.G.S. Ten Coloured Maps. 58.

*** These works will also be found worthy of the perusal of students and general readers.
