Excerpt from Pictorial Narratives On the next Sabbath Mr. Gordon called on him in the afternoon, and asked him to accompany him to the Lock, where he was going to hear a celebrated preacher. He took an early cup of tea with his friend, and they left together. As they were passing through St. J ames's Park, who should they meet but Mr. Phillips, (the Other clerk in the oflice, ) in company with three ladies. The interview appeared accidental and as Mr. Phillips pressed his friends to do him and the ladies the honor of their company, polite ness induced a compliance, andthe whole party took an excursion on the water. They did not return till late and it was past twelve before Lewellin reached his lodgings. As soon as he entered the parlor he made an apology for being so late; and to avoid being embarrassed by any questions, he took his candle, and retired to his own room.

Excerpt from Pictures and Stories From Uncle Tom's Cabin Oh missus! Dear missus! Don't think me nu grateful; don't think hard of me. I am going to try to save my boy; you will not blame me! God bless and reward you for all your kindness! Hastily folding and directing this, she went to a drawer and made up a little package of clothing for her boy, which she tied firmly round her waist; and so fond is a mother's remembrance, that even in the terrors Of that hour she did not forget to put up in the little package one or two of his favour ite toys. On the bed lay her slumbering boy, his long curls falling negligently around his unconscious face, his rosy mouth half Open, his little fat hands thrown out over the bed-clothes, and a smile spread like a sunbeam over his whole face. Poor boy! Poor fellow! Said Eliza, they have sold you, but your mother will save you yet. It was some trouble to arouse the little sleeper; but after some effort he sat up, and began playing with his wooden bird, while his mother was putting on her bonnet and shawl.

Excerpt from Pictorial Modern History, From the Discovery of America by Columbus to the Present Time And bringing into strong relief the men and things that have exerted the strongest influence on the grand current of human affairs. The divisions of the subject are few, and the narrative as simple and direct as so extensive a plan would by any means permit. Leading characters and events are dwelt upon according to the author's estimate of their relative importance, and others are necessarily passed over with, comparatively, slight notice. But little Space has been afforded to the history of our own country, from the conviction that this course would be most acceptable to intelligent readers, familiar as they are with all the great events of American history.

Excerpt from The Children's Album of Pictures and Stories: Abridged Ens, which was published by the Massachusetts Sab bath School Society. It was intended, as its title indicates, merely for the very little ones. This book has been so eagerly sought for by mothers, and its influence found to be so happy upon their little ones, that the author has the more readily assented to the request of the publisher of the pres ent volume to write and compile a larger work of the same general character, but designed for all the children. Such a book, it is hoped, the children's album will be found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Written over the course of a quarter century, the nineteen essays reprinted in this volume reflect a continuing belief in the seriousness and complexity of the relationship between pictures and texts in medieval art. Professor Kessler has grouped his studies in three sections: Pictures and Scripture includes those essays which consider the various ways in which Christian pictorial representations are in continuous and varying dialogue with holy writ in Byzantium and the medieval west. Pictures in Scripture is about illustrated manuscripts, with six essays dealing with the complicated processes used to construct meaning in depictions within the texts they illustrate. Pictures as Scriptures contains nine essays which deal with pictorial cycles unassociated with the texts they serve, primarily monumental narratives in the Synagogue at Dura Europos and on the walls of Italian churches. Notes added to each article update the bibliography and consider issues that have been discussed in subsequent scholarly literature. There is a new preface and a comprehensive index.
