A massive, 10 x 12-inch folio work meant for family devotion. Norman Macleod solicited original writings from some of the best divines of the day to create a first-rate family devotional for every day of the year.
In addition to the readings, it is littered throughout with full page, folio sized engravings of the highest quality. These include engravings of many of the authors, among them, full size folio engravings of J. C. Ryle and C. H. Spurgeon.
It's seen better days, but very usable, and a wonderful production.
