Now ready , handsomely bound in an illuminated cloth cover , price 4 s ., oblong 8 vo , T HE GOLDEN A . B . C . Edited from the German , by J . F . HOPER . " The principle upon which this elegant little book is constructed , is to select a series of Scripture texts , commencing with the successive letters of the Alphabet , —in the same way as tho common ABO illustrates tho Alphabet by words —and to accompany each text with an appropriate pictorial illustration which itself again is wrought into the shape of tho letter . . . It is impossible to convey in words an Idea of its exquisite beauty and sweetness . It is needless to dwell on the infinite superiority of such a collection of gerrs as this , to all the pictorial alphabets in common use for the . purpose of impressing upon young children the letters of the alphabet by the aid of illustration and association of ideas .
