adapted to the age and capacity of Children, which might afford
them instruction and amusement, and supply them with an limo-
cent occupation during their leisure hours at home. This little
Work is undertaken for the use of Children educated at National
Schools, and it is hoped, that the patronage and countenance may
be obtained of the Diocesan Secretaries of the National Society for
the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established
Chitrch, and the Members of the Society for Promoting Christian
Knowledge; that through their means it will get into general cir-
culation among those children for whcm it is drawn ay. Tbete
will nut be, however, found in it anything which peed confine It
to that particular description of Cliddren; and it will be the en-
deavour of the Editor to make it a pleasing and useful Juvenile
Companion.
