Incomplete.

That the work is but a fragment I have already mentioned. The whole of the indisputably historical part of the Old Testament, which includes so much of the picturesquely beautiful incidents and characters best suited for the delight and instruction of childhood, and in the New Testament practically the whole of the Gospels, except that of Luke, are absolutely excluded. It was not from design that these exclusions were made; apparently the editor did not receive sufficient encouragement to proceed. But we are asked to make the accident which cut him short the determining element in our choice of Scriptural passages to teach our children sixty years afterwards.
