The successful result suggested the idea of publishing them for the benefit, not only of those who may be subjected to like unfortunate disabilities, but for others...Their simplicity, that will be perceived in the compositions of the lessons derived from the historic Scriptures, will be accounted for by the circumstances connected with their original design. This quality, however, will, it is believed, impart a value and charm to the book, that will comment it not only to the young and the unlearned, but to Bible readers of mature years and liberal culture.\" - Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlvan Bond, D.D.
