"I never wanted articles on religious subjects half so much as articles on common subjects, written with a decidedly Christian tone."-DR. ARNOLD.

THIS series is adapted to the new development and growing intelligence of the times. With the exception of a few reprints, it is ORIGINAL; from the pens of authors of ability in their respective departments in literature and science:--SCRIPTURAL; in the principles in which they are written :-POPULAR; in their style; so that instead of being limited to one class of the community, they are generally acceptable:-PORTABLE; serving as "hand-books" abroad and at home:-and ECONOMICAL; the twelve volumes of a year costing less than three half-pence per week. Thus while the MONTHLY SERIES is fully adapted to the educated FAMILIES of our land, to DAY and SUNDAY SCHOOLS, and to the LIBRARIES of mechanics and others, they supply interesting and valuable reading to a large number of the people who can only spare time enough for the perusal of a small volume, and whose means will not allow of a more costly purchase.
