A second Edition of this little work having been called for immediately on
the issue of the first, no time has been lost in carefully correcting and revising
the original copy. A copious Table of Contents, with one or two original
articles, have been also added; and every pains and care have been taken to
make the little volume useful for children of all ages. The work is again sent
forth, with earnest prayer to the Lord (without whom the most laboured efforts
fail, and with whom the weakest means succeed) that he would be pleased to
command the blessing.

A second Edition of this little work having been called for immediately on
the issue of the first, no time has been lost in carefully correcting and revising
the original copy. A copious Table of Contents, with one or two original
articles, have been also added; and every pains and care have been taken to
make the little volume useful for children of all ages. The work is again sent
forth, with earnest prayer to the Lord (without whom the most laboured efforts
fail, and with whom the weakest means succeed) that he would be pleased to
command the blessing.
