Excerpt from The Sunday School Union: Its History and Work Those readers of the present volume who may take the trouble to compare it with the Author's former work, will find & difference in the following particulars: - The circumstances connected with the rise and progress of the Sunday school system have generally been omitted, having found a more appropriate place in "The First Fifty Years of the Sunday School," a volume already published by the Union. Instead of the narrative being carried through in a chronological series, the various operations of the Union have been grouped together in distinct chapters, so that the description of each department of work is rendered perfect in itself.
