The "Athenaeum" says:—"There is no more practical way of communicating elementary information than that which has been adopted in this series. When we see contained in 124 small pages (as in Fast in the Ice) such information as a man of fair education should possess about icebergs, northern lights, Esquimaux, musk-oxen, bears, walruses, &c., together with all the ordinary incidents of an Arctic voyage woven into a clear connected narrative, we must admit that a good work has been done, and that the author deserves the gratitude of those for whom the books are especially designed, and also of young people of all classes."

BIBLE HISTORY FOR THE YOUNG.
"THE WORD" SERIES.
By SUSAN and ANNA WARNER, Authors of "The Wide, Wide World," "Queechy," &c.
With Illustrations, Plain and Coloured. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. each.
The aim of this Series of Volumes is so to set forth the Bible incidents and course of history, with its train of actors, as to see them in the circumstances and colouring, the light and shade, of their actual existence.
The volumes embody, as far as possible, all the known facts, natural, social, and historical, which are required for the illustration and elucidation of the Bible narrative.
1. WALKS FROM EDEN: The Scripture Story from the Creation to the Death of Abraham.
2. THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL: The Scripture Story from the Birth of Isaac to the Death of Jacob.
3. THE KINGDOM OF JUDAH: The Scripture Story from the Death of Solomon to the Captivity.
4. THE BROKEN WALLS OF JERUSALEM AND THE REBUILDING OF THEM. In continuation of "The House of Israel" and "The Kingdom of Judah," and completing the work.
5. THE STAR OUT OF JACOB: The Scripture Story Illustrating the Earlier Portion of the Gospel Narrative.
"These five books form a most comprehensive and attractive commentary on the Scriptures suited to the requirements of the young. More real knowledge in true child language, and within the understanding of children, it has never been our privilege to meet with before. We are disposed to envy those young friends who are fortunate enough to number them among their literary possessions, for although pre-eminently children's books, they are yet well able to impart instruction to children of a larger growth."—Rock.
"There is a pleasant freshness and reality conveyed to the old, well-worn stories, which will make children understand the details of Eastern life and the manners and customs of the old pastoral times. 'The Word' Series will be a charming gift to young people."—Athenaeum.
"We doubt whether any one has ever told 'the old, old story' more attractively, for children at least, than the author of 'The Wide, Wide World.' Whatever fame she may have won by her works of fiction will be greatly increased by her success in writing these marvellous stories."—Christian World.

The tone and spirit of her pages seem to me admirably suited to her subject—simple, tender, gentle, wise, and full of sweet Christian love, they point the little ones invitingly to heaven, and lead the way....

With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 5s. each.
UNDER THE WAVES;
Or, DIVING IN DEEP WATERS.

These ingredients are put together with the skill and spirit of an accomplished story-teller; and the result is a book that cannot possibly be laid down till the very last word of the last line has been read."—Athenaeum.

DEEP DOWN.
A TALE OF THE CORNISH MINES.
"Mr. Ballantyne's book will not fail to delight boys, for it is full of deeds of daring and of 'hairbreadth escapes.'"—Scotsman.
