Wellington.— British and Foreign Tract Society.—
Among the useful institutions for which our Native land is distinguished, the above must be reckoned as one, next perhaps in usefulness to the Missionary and Bible Societies, to which it has proved an efficient ally.
There are few of our Colonies to which the Tract Society has not extended its operations and afforded its aid. It is with extreme pleasure that we have to announce the arrival of a large and valuable consignment of the publications of that Society, from which many a cottage library may be formed, and by which much time may be profitably employed, which is now wasted. Let those who are fond of reading hasten to furnish themselves with some of the good and cheap publications now sent, especially let the young do this. This community has for some time been laid under obligations to the Sunday School Union, and now we are favoured with another proof of British piety and liberality, by a grant of Tracts and other useful publications for gratuitous distribution from the British and Foreign Tract society, to which our thanks are due and are hereby tendered.
There is considerable variety and much that is excellent (all good) in the selection now sent, those therefore who desire it may give themselves to reading.”
