I oo The Proprietors of Lindley Murray's works, think it is no fmall recommendation of them, that the whole of these valuable publications, from "The First Book for Children," to "the Power of Religion on the Mind," may be properly confidered, as forming a little code of important elementary inftruction. They are ftrictly fubfervient to one another, and moft intimately connected. Their peculiar and acknowledged excellence is, that in every part of them, the pureft principles of piety and virtue, are happily blended with the elements of literature.
