This work was undertaken with the design of providing the public with a more complete view of the existing state of Biblical literature, both at home and abroad. It was felt that former works of the kind were built too exclusively upon the �������old learning������� of Calmet and others; and that some recent attempts to give a more modern character to such undertakings had been made entirely from home materials. The work owes its origin to the Editor's conviction of the existence of a great body of untouched materials, which lay invitingly ready for the use of those who might know how to avail themselves of such resources.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
