resting books on subjects of religious truth and duty , suited to occupy their attention on the Sabbath * Jt will be an object to render them as entertaining as may be consistent with this great purpose , but no place will be allowed in them for fictitious
narrative . It is hoped that works founded exclusively on truth , treating of the history of our religion and the excellent men who have adorned it ,, and illustrating principles of Natural Religion and passages of Holy Writ , may have sufficient attraction without the aid of fiction .
The publishers have been encouraged to believe that such an undertaking wpuTdbe ^^ tnougHFsea ^ sonaBre by religious parents and teachers ; and hope to furnish works which shall be profitable to families in general , as well as to the class of persons for whom they are
