Notes: "This book consists, for the most part, of two little books which have recently made their appearance in England. The first of these is entitled 'Bible Letters, &c. by Lucy Barton;' the other, 'Gospel Stories; an attempt to render the chief events of the life of our Savior intelligible and profitable to young children. In preparing the volume for the American reader, I have taken the liberty to omit some passages in the works above mentioned, which seem not happily adapted to youth."--Preface, p. [v].
