On no work of this class has there ever been engaged the same extensive and distinguished co-operation; nor has any publication of the kind ever appeared, either at home or abroad, containing so large an amount of valuable original matter, or forming so able a digest of information, from every source, illustrating the Sacred Writings. Besides Maps and Engravings on Steel, the work contains 554 Engravings on Wood, representing Landscapes, Buildings, Monuments, Plants, Animals, Illustrations of Manners and Customs, and whatever can be more clearly displayed by pictorial than by written description, or by which the written text may be in any degree elucidated.

The following branches of Knowledge are comprised in the Work:1. BIBLICAL CRITICISM-Embracing the History of the Bible Languages-the Canon of Scripture-Literary History and Peculiarities of the Sacred Books-Formation and History of the Texts of Scripture.

2. BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION-Comprehending the Principles of Translating and Expounding Scripture-Critical Estimate of the leading Interpreters and principal Versions, Ancient and Modern.

3. HISTORY-Proper Names of Persons-Biographical Sketches of the more prominent Characters-Detailed Accounts of the Principal Events recorded in Scripture-Chronology and Genealogy of Scripture.

4. GEOGRAPHY-Names of Places-Description of SceneryBoundaries and Mutual Relations of the Countries mentioned in Scripture, so far as necessary to illustrate the Sacred Text. 5. ARCHEOLOGY-Manners and Customs of the Jews, and other Nations mentioned in Scripture-their Sacred Institutionstheir Military Affairs-their Political Arrangements—their Literary and Scientific Pursuits.
