Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Knowledge of the Bible Revised From the Biblical Reasons Why: A Family Guide to Scripture Readings and a Hand-Book for Biblical Students; Illustrated With Numerous Engravings
In introducing the knowledge OF the bible the Publishers conceive it judicious to put on record their honest reasons; to' place themselves rectus in curia, as the legal gentlemen say, in the premises. They desire to assume higher ground than the exclusively business one of common mercenary impulses. They desire to have it under stood that the leading motive in their enterprise was a disposition to popularize a knowledge of the Scriptures; to remove the embarrassments which usually beset the way of the unlearned multitude in the perusal of the Bible; to smooth the road to an easy and thorough comprehension of its more Obscure passages; to enable the mass Of the people to peruse that invaluable work understandingly, so as to arrive at correct conclusions for themselves, and enjoy with more eminent satisfaction the commentaries and deductions of the accredited ministers of the gospel.
