their Services during Life, and Uses after Death. The size of the Prints is

importance and daily application in an attractive form, and to open up a
subject which, judiciously applied, is calculated to prove to the young a
most interesting and instructive study. The design is to show the "Utility

after death; and to deduce results calculated to excite interest and
admiration, and evince the wisdom and goodness of God in the subsistence,
comfort, and social advancement of his creature Man. Price, in one volume,

Illustrations, half-bound in morocco, and lettered, 2l. 12s.
