Price 2s. + + +_Price One Shilling, Monthly_, + +THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE. + +A Journal devoted to Literature and Art, and equally an organ of +both--an Art Magazine, but not one to which Literature is merely +incidental; a Literary Magazine, but not one to which Art is a mere +adjunct. + +Attractiveness of subject and of treatment is studied in every +department. Tales by acknowledged authors occupy considerable space; +reviews; essays; varieties of travel and adventure; humorous sketches; +and occasional reports of public matters, find due place; thus forming, +altogether, whether regarded from a literary or an artistic point of +view, a Magazine of surpassing interest and beauty. Four Volumes, +handsomely bound, price 7s. 6d. each, have been already published. + +Vol. V., just published, handsome cloth gilt, 7s. 6d. Cases for +binding, 1s. 6d. each. + + +_Price Twopence, Monthly_, + +THE BOOK AND ITS MISSIONS; + +Dedicated to the British and Foreign Bible Society, and to the friends +of Bible Circulation throughout the world. Edited by L. N. R., author +of the "Book and its Story." The plan of this cheap periodical, which +has obtained a wide circulation, is distinct from that of any other, +and it aims at a character less ephemeral. THE BOOK OF GOD itself +is shown to map out the whole world into five divisions by its own +reception in it.--Past and Present. It may be traced to the ANCIENT +CHURCH, which primarily received it--to the lands where the PRIESTS NOW +HIDE IT FROM THE PEOPLE--to those where a FALSE BOOK has supplanted +it--to those where it is YET UNKNOWN--and finally to the PROTESTANT +countries, from whence it goes forth to be the Light of the Earth. This +progress is illuminated in THE BOOK AND ITS MISSIONS by historical and +geographical details, carefully collected from the best authorities, +in order to interest the general reader, and to afford, especially +to the young, a more realising sense of the mighty work the Bible is +accomplishing "afar off," and "near home." It is very suitable for +circulation in SCHOOLS. While the principles of the Bible Society do +not permit its office bearers to accept the responsibility of editing +such a magazine as the present, it yet enjoys their unqualified +recommendation, and much of the matter passes under their direct +supervision. + +Published Monthly, Price 2d.
