The Bible Cyclopedia.
A COMPREHENSIVE DIGEST OF THE CIVIL AND NATURAL HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY,
STATISTICS, AND GENERAL LITERARY INFORMATION CONNECTED
WITH THE SACRED WRITINGS.
The Illustration of the Holy Scriptures must ever be an object of paramount importance to every devout Christian. In this work, the varied stores of information which have been accumulating for ages, relating to the civil and ecclesiastical history of ancient empires, and the interesting and valuable researches of modern travellers, particularly those relating to Egypt, are examined, and the results placed before the reader.
In duly estimating the importance of critical and philological research, and in clearing away some of the obscurities of the Scriptures, the Editor considers the Bible, in its structure, spirit, and character, to be essentially an Eastern book. The natural phenomena, and moral condition of the East, should therefore be made largely tributary to its elucidation. For this important purpose, the Editor draws largely from those rich and abundant stores unfolded by the spirit of modern enterprise.
