Price Twopence, Monthly,
THE BOOK AND ITS MISSIONS;
Dedicated to the British and Foreign Bible Society, and to the friends of Bible Circulation throughout the world. Edited by L. N. R., author of the "Book and its Story." The plan of this cheap periodical, which has obtained a wide circulation, is distinct from that of any other, and it aims at a character less ephemeral. The Book of God itself is shown to map out the whole world into five divisions by its own reception in it.—Past and Present. It may be traced to the Ancient Church, which primarily received it—to the lands where the Priests now Hide it from the People—to those where a False Book has supplanted it—to those where it is YET UNKNOWN—and finally to the Protestant countries, from whence it goes forth to be the Light of the Earth. This progress is illuminated in The Book and its Missions by historical and geographical details, carefully collected from the best authorities, in order to interest the general reader, and to afford, especially to the young, a more realising sense of the mighty work the Bible is accomplishing "afar off," and "near home." It is very suitable for circulation in Schools. While the principles of the Bible Society do not permit its office bearers to accept the responsibility of editing such a magazine as the present, it yet enjoys their unqualified recommendation, and much of the matter passes under their direct supervision.
Published Monthly, Price 2d. Nos. 1 to 40 are all in print; also in Vols., cloth, plain, 3s.; or gilt edges, 3s. 6d. Vols. I. II. III. are now ready.
