" . . . They give us a succinct account of the scope and contents of
each book and a vivacious picture of the men and their limes."-
Oldham Chronicle.

"A brief description of the general scope of each prophet's writings.
good of its kind." Chzirch 7'zmes.

" A thoroughly valuable book, bringing together a mass of interesting
information . . . Plain readers of the Bible will find this volume a
real help, and we heartily recommend it. Fireside News.

" . . . They may be of service in whetting the appetite for
larger works, or in helping to a more intelligent study of these too
much neglected books of the Old Testament." Nonconformist.

" It professes to give a brief account of each of the minor prophets
with the characteristics of their works, and carries out its purpose very
fairly ; a good deal of information being compressed in its 120 pages,
and sermonising being sparingly introduced." Literary Churchman.

useful for our little friends. . ." Literary World.
