At a time when books of the most valuable and interesting character are
published at prices far below any former precedent, it seems to be little
less than the duty of every master of a Christian household to furnish to
his servants a collection, however limited, of such works as would be at
once most useful and acceptable to them, which a few shillings annually
would serve to keep up or to extend. The Vicar would wish to recommend
_The Churchman’s Monthly Magazine_ as one publication, which might, in
any case, be added with advantage to such a library. It has now extended
to five small volumes, and is continued periodically.
