PREFACE.
I have written this book for little boys. I hope they may like it; although it does not contain any wonderful stories about giants, or genii, or fairies.
I wanted to do them good, as well as to amuse them. Although I do not mention the name of the Saviour in every chapter, I yet try to talk of things that will lead their minds up to him. I wish them to feel how good he has been to them, in giving them kind parents to teach them his word, health to enjoy the beauties of creation, and in bestowing on them so many other mercies.
That they may love the Redeemer in their early years, and at last dwell with him in heaven, is the prayer of their friend,
THE AUTHOR.
