SCENES AND CHARACTERS ILLUSTRATING CHRISTIAN TRUTH.
“It we may judge of this series of little works from the two
numbers which have appeared, we should say, that it bids fair
to be eminently useful, and to realize whatever we might expect
from the high character of the writers engaged. * * *
They should be read. Whoever contributes at all to circulate
them, does good to the public.”

No. I. — TRIAL AND SELF-DISCIPLINE.
By the Author of “James Talbot,” “The Factory Girl,” &c.
“A very natural and faithful picture of the power of Christianity
to sustain the weak spirit through the trials of the
world.”
— Boston Daily Advertiser.
“If this little work is an earnest of those which are to follow,
it would be very safe to give them high praise before they
appear. It is written with great beauty, and perfectly accomplishes
its object.”
— Boston Observer.
“The title of this excellent tale is in no respect deceptive.
If the remaining numbers shall be executed with the same
skill, and the same deep religious feelings which pervade the
first, the little volumes will be an important addition to the
works which make religion attractive and lovely.”
— Chr. Reg.
No. II. — THE SKEPTIC. By the Author
of “The Well-Spent Hour,” “Words of Truth,” &c.
“This is an admirable little book, which no one will dip
into without reading through, and no one will read through
without being improved and delighted. The argumentative
portions are clear and forcible, and are naturally and skilfully
interwoven with the web of the story. The characters are
conceived and sustained wonderfully well, and never were the
Christian graces more beautifully and consistently displayed
than in the life and conversation of Alice Grey. We owe a
debt of gratitude to the writer who gives us so natural and true
a picture of the influence of Christianity upon our daily and
hourly duties, and of the mighty power which it bestows upon
the character and affections.”
