"A good compendium; it contains the essence of very many volumes, serving not only as helps for the education of youth, but as refreshers to the memory to those who are old."—Sunday School Magazine.

"A great deal of information in a small compass, and the author has availed himself of the latest authorities. We prefer the form of Outlines to Catechisms.

"Both the plan and style are perspicuous; it is admirably adapted for what it is intended."—The Times.
"Contains a vast amount of interesting and useful knowledge, and admirably adapted as helps to parents and teachers of youth."—Tait's Magazine.
