riod of instruction in the Model Infant School, for which all these lessons have been prepared, the children repeat one day in the week the commandments, one of them being made the subject of questioning and explanation. The hints furnishing the matter for carrying out this plan, are here given. In the second volume the subjects from the Gospels will form the course of instruction.

The Fourth Step contains the lessons prepared for the Juvenile Section of the Model School. At this stage Catechisms and summaries of religion become valuable, to fix in the mind the truths gathered from the Bible. The Apostles' Creed forms the subject of a set of lessons; the truths it contains are expanded and explained, and proved by references to Scripture. The children at this age regularly read the Scriptures, and are questioned upon what they read. To help the Teacher in carrying on profitably such instruction, there is added the first of a series of lessons on the miracles of our Lord, the whole of which it is proposed shortly to publish.

It is earnestly hoped that the work now given to the public will prove a help to Christian parents and teachers. Its object will then be answered. ELIZABETH MAYO.

Hampstead, Nov. 1844.
