The Bible Prophets and the Classical Oracles, contrasted.
The Apocryphal Books of the Old Testament, and the reason for their exclusion from the Canon.
It is a work of real value, not sectarian at all, not even Theological, but is just what it purports to be, a History of the Books of the Bible, sufficiently critical to meet the wants of the Professor, the Clergyman and the Student, and yet so simplified as to be the book needed by every Family and every Sunday School Teacher, as the Companion of the Bible.
This book is new and fresh from the pen of the author, who has long been urged to its preparation by Presidents of Colleges, and leading Ministers and Scholars of the various Christian denominations, and has given his best energies to its completion.
It contains about 600 pages Octavo, printed from new and beautiful clear type, selected expressly for this work, illustrated with a fine steel portrait of the Author, fac-similes of the early manuscripts on which the Bible was written, very curious and interesting, and other full page illustrative engravings, all in the highest style of engraving, by the best artists in the country. It is one of the most popular books ever published.
Over 25,000 copies of this work were sold within the first six months, and the sales are constantly increasing. A similar volume, on the Old Testament, by Prof. Stowe, will be issued during the present year. Clergymen, Experienced Agents, and Ladies, will find Prof. Stowe's book the very best of its kind to solicit for. For agency, terms, etc., apply or address
