'This is a very admirable and seasonable book, displaying much
reading and the soundest views. It sets forth, with much detail and
in a popular and picturesque style, the many evils of Popery' and
the present danger of Britain from this insidious foe. It would be
difficult to find a better text-book for popular lectures and young
men's classes, on the subject, and we cordially recommend
it.'--_Protestant Bulwark._
'A sensible, smart, and clever exposure of Popery, with its
irrational assumptions, and soul-destroying errors. The work is
timely, and its circulation will do good.'--Rev. W. Cooke, D.D.

'The stories are full of pathos and moral beauty, and are in every
respect likely to draw the hearts of the young to the love of God
and goodness. We hope our Sunday School managers will keep this
little book in mind when providing their Anniversary prizes.--Rev.
C. McKechnie, _Primitive Methodist Magazine_.

'Miss Woodcock's charming little volumes are everything that could
be desired. It would be difficult to find collections of stories
and lessons at once so well suited to the tastes and capacities of
children, and so likely to plant and foster right principles, and
to mould and build up a good and noble character.'--Rev. C. C.
M'Kechnie.
'Our respected author is scarcely _fair_ in presenting this capital
collection to the young of her own denomination only, as indicated
in her preface. The excellence of her work commends it to the young
of all denominations.'--_The Christian Age._
