A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The author of this little treatise onS cripture Geography has prepared it under the impression that a work of the kind was wanted, and, if well executed, would be useful. He is not acquainted with any treatise on the subject, that is at once concise, comprehensive, and well adapted to elementary instruction.

It has been the design of the author of this treatise to follow the best guides, and to notice such matters as are most important; but he has avoided all discussion of doubtful topics. The Outlines, and the accompanying A tlas, are designed to be used throughout in connection. The plan on which the work has been formed will be found simple ;easy both to the instructor and pupil; and well adapted, it is hoped, to elementary instruction in schools and families. The subject is treated,in a great measure, chronologically ;the circumstances by which many of the places have been rendered memorable are briefly mentioned ;and the nature of the work
