NEW SERIES OF

HISTORICAL

TALES,

Illustrating the chief events in Ecclesiastical History,
British and Foreign,

ADAPTED FOR GENERAL READING, PAROCHIAL LIBRARIES, &c. The series is to be conducted by a responsible editor, and it is intended that, when complete, it shall illustrate not only portions of the history of the Church in Great Britain, but also in her Colonies, in the different countries of Europe, and in the East. The extent of the series must, of course, greatly depend upon the favour and support accorded to it by the public.

Each tale, although forming a link of the entire series, will be complete in itself, enabling persons to subscribe to portions only, or to purchase any single tale separately.

It is intended to issue a volume on the first of each month, at the uniform price

of One Shilling.

TALES FOR THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF ENGLAND.
