EXCELSIOR:
HELPS TO PROGRESS IN RELIGION, SCIENCE, AND LITERATURE.
ILLUSTRATED BY CAREFUL DRAWINGS ON WOOD.
As, besides continuous papers on such subjects as Zoology, Meteorology, British Mining, the Fine Arts, the Human Frame, Church History, English Letter-Writers, &c., these volumes contain numerous contributions in the departments of Biography, Adventures and Incidents of Travel, the Useful Arts, Tales, Poetry, Literary Criticism, Scriptural Evidences, and Christian Ethics, it is believed that they will be found a welcome acquisition amongst those who, in their search for amusement, do not lose sight of instruction. More especially is it respectfully submitted that, combining so much sound information with the liveliness of a miscellany, they would find an appropriate place in the bookcase of the Schoolroom and in the Village Library, as well as on the shelf beside the Parlour-fire.
