Atlas, Illustrative of This Work

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The success which attended the publication of an Analysis and Summary of Herodotus has induced the author to compile an Analysis and Summary of Old Tes tament History on a similar plan. Accordingly, the pres ent work contains an Analytical Summary of all the most important events recorded in the Old Testament Scrip tures, arranged in chronological order, but retaining the canonical division into books. Each book of this Sum mary is separated into divisions, excepting where one book contains merely a repetition of the history of a pre ceding one; and each Of these divisions is again subdi vided into paragraphs, all of which have the Contents appended in a peculiar type. These Contents are also thrown together and reprinted at the beginning of each book; full references are also given at the end of each paragraph to the chapters or verses in the Bible in which the original facts are recorded.
