NOTICE.
The present Volume forms a Class-Book of Old Testament History from the Earliest Times to those of Ezra and Nehemiah.
In its preparation the most recent Authorities[1] have been consulted, and wherever it has appeared useful, Notes have been subjoined illustrative of the Text, and, for the sake of more advanced students, references added to larger Works.
The Index has been so arranged as to form a concise Dictionary of the Persons and Places mentioned in the course of the Narrative, while the Maps, which have been prepared with considerable care at Stanford’s Geographical Establishment, will, it is hoped, materially add to the value and usefulness of the Book.
