In the advertisement prefixed to the series of volumes already published, under the title of the "GOOD CHILD'S LIBRARY," the publishers gave notice of their intention to issue another series, similar in character and design, to be devoted to subjects from the Old Testament, as the other had been to the New. In fulfilment of this notice they have issued the present series, embellished like the Good Child's Library, with an entire new set of Illustrations, executed in Oil Colors, in the best manner. The additional attraction given thereby will, they trust, obtain for it the same favor as has already been bestowed upon the former series. The volumes composing the SCENES AND NARRATIVES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, are separate and distinct from each other, having no other connection than similarity of form and style. The following are the titles of the different works. THE GARDEN OF EDEN, THE FLOOD, DISPERSION OF MANKIND, DEPARTURE OF THE ISRAELITES, HISTORY OF ABRAHAM, HISTORY OF ISAAC, HISTORY OF JACOB, HISTORY OF JOSEPH, HISTORY OF MOSES, HISTORY OF JOSHUA, HISTORY OF SAMUEL, HISTORY OF DAVID. The above series in connection with the volumes of the "Good Child's Library," constitute a choice and attractive Scriptural Library for Children. * * * * * THE FLOOD CONTENTS. I.

Behold how kind and merciful Our heavenly Father was, To bear so long with sinful men, Who had transgressed His laws. The hearts of men wax'd worse and worse, They disobeyed the Lord; They followed their own thoughts, nor walked According to His word. And men were multiplied on earth, They spread both far and wide; And there were giants in those days, Who did God's law deride.
