About This Book

Practical guidance for selecting wholesome, age-appropriate reading for children, youth, and adults, arranging recommendations by audience—little ones, school classes, boys, drawing-room readers—and by subjects such as scripture, history, biography, natural history, science, mythology, fairy tales, and allegory. The text stresses the value of school and parish libraries, cultivating literary taste to deter harmful reading, and choosing books that support moral and educational aims. It also offers suggestions for mothers’ meetings, missionary working-parties, communal readings, and annotated lists with notes on suitability and instructional use.

NATIONAL SOCIETY’S
NEW SERIES OF SCRIPTURE PRINTS

In response to many and oft-repeated demands, the National Society has undertaken a series of Wall Prints for Schools, which, it is hoped, will fill a place unoccupied by the prints from Scripture hitherto provided for children.

The following Six Prints form the first instalment of the Series:

  • 1. The Flight into Egypt.
  • 2. The Entombment.
  • 3. Blessing of the Children.
  • 4. The Adoration of the Shepherds.
  • 5. The Holy Women at the Sepulchre.
  • 6. The Entry into Jerusalem.

Price of each Print, 3s. Size of Print, 27 inches by 21 inches; with margin, 35 inches by 29 inches.

The Prints may also be obtained in the following forms, the price in each case being net: canvas, rollers, and varnished, 3s. 9d.; stretcher and varnished, 4s. 6d.; black and gilt frame, with glass, 9s. 6d.; flat oak and gilt frame, with glass, 9s. 6d.; the Print, without margin, framed in gilt, with glass, 7s. 6d.
