Its plan includes three things: the construction of a general dictionary of the English language which shall be serviceable for every literary and practical use; a more complete collection of the technical terms of the various sciences, arts, trades, and professions than has yet been attempted; and the addition to the definitions proper of such related encyclopedic matter, with pictorial illustrations, as shall constitute a convenient book of general reference.

Dr. Cheyne, who has given to the character of Jeremiah a great deal of study from time to time, says: "I have thought it best on this occasion not to assume more than the most assured results of criticism." Further he remarks, "the reader must make allowance for the narrow limits prescribed to the volumes of this series. Book of Jeremiah itself is full of exegetical interest; the character of Jeremiah is a fascinating psychological problem; the times of Jeremiah are among the most important in Old Testament history. On each of these subjects I have tried to throw some light from various sources, and at the same time to kindle in the reader that same reverential sympathy which I hope I feel myself for this great prophet. Little Radiance has been trained by her mother to be considerate, unselfish, obliging, and useful. She meets Hilda, Percy, and Fred, who indulge in many childish weaknesses. They all have a bad fever, and Hilda realizes how much more Radiance would have been missed than she, if she had died, and all four children make a compact to help each other live noble lives.
