To those members of the congregation at All Saints, who have not yet introduced into their families the practice of domestic prayer, and who may possibly feel the want of some suggestions as to the books best adapted for conducting it, the Vicar would desire to recommend one orother of the following publications, according as they may find them most eligible for their own use. The different prices named would bring the books within the means of every class of his people; and he ventures to urge the adoption of the practice equally upon all.

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 recommendThe Churchman’s Monthly Magazineas 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.
