| | ANTIQUARIAN TITLES ESPECIALLY INTENDED FOR THE FAMILY AND FOR THE YOUNG John Crawshaw, Richard Donkersley, W.M. Blackburn A GATHERING OF ANTIQUARIAN TITLES ESPECIALLY INTENDED FOR THE FAMILY AND FOR THE YOUNG (1) FACTS ABOUT BOYS, FOR BOYS: Being a Selection of Interesting and Instructive Facts and Incidents of a Moral and Religious Character by Rev. John Crawshaw The words of John Crawshaw drawn from the Preface explain the purpose of this volume: "The importance of imbuing the youthful mind with scriptural and religious truth cannot be too highly estimated. Could we but raise up a 'Godly seed,' most of the evils under which society groans would be removed. No judiciously applied efforts which have this object in view, however small in themselves, ought to be regarded as trivial; for, at no season in life is truth so likely to make a lasting impression as in youth. It is almost impossible to bend the sturdy oak, but the tender sapling may be easily trained; and though you can seldom produce much impression on the mind of an old man, you may easily do it upon the minds of children." (2) FACTS ABOUT GIRLS, FOR GIRLS: Being a Selection of Interesting and Instructive Anecdotes of Girls by Rev. Richard Donkersley This book is the perfect companion to the book FACTS ABOUT BOYS, FOR BOYS. This book does for girls of all ages what the previous book does for boys. It is filled with 120 incidents and anecdotes intended to instruct girls about living a life that will please the Lord and do much good to others. The words of John Crawshaw drawn from the Preface of the companion volume are just as applicable for this book for girls: "The importance of imbuing the youthful mind with scriptural and religious truth cannot be too highly estimated. Could we but raise up a 'Godly seed,' most of the evils under which society groans would be removed. No judiciously applied efforts which have this object in view, however small in themselves, ought to be regarded as trivial; for, at no season in life is truth so likely to make a lasting impression as in youth. It is almost impossible to bend the sturdy oak, but the tender sapling may be easily trained; and though you can seldom produce much impression on the mind of an old man, you may easily do it upon the minds of children." (3) THE HOLY CHILD: or The Early Years of our Lord Jesus Christ by William M. Blackburn Such a warm and inviting book to be given to those old enough to read about THE HOLY CHILD, Jesus. Blackburn opens his book with a precious story of an encounter he had with a young boy who was far from God, and yet who began to see the glory of Jesus as he read about him for the first time in the Bible. The following chapters lead one step by step to a true knowledge of our Lord: 1. A Child who was Not Holy: The Story of young John Conner 2. The Ancient of Days: The Divider of Time 3. The Days of Caesar Augustus 4. The Days of Herod the King 5. The City of David: Bethlehem 6. Good Tidings of Great Joy 7. The Night Watch and the Morning Song 8.
