Lindley Murray, the Grammarian, and author of several excellent
School and Reading books, in his last Will bequeathed certain funds
to Trustees in America, his native country, for several benevolent
objects, including the gratuitous distribution of "books calculated to
promote piety and virtue, and the truth of Christianity."
The Trustees have had "The Power of Religion on the Mind, in
Retirement, Affliction, and at the approach of Death," stereotyped, and
several thousand copies printed and distributed.
They also publish the following Narratives compiled by A. Mott, and M.
S. Wood, believing they will prove acceptable reading to our Colored
Americans.
