Excerpt from An Historical Text Book and Atlas of Biblical Geography
Special attention has been given to the Chronology of Sacred History. The division of the work by chapters has been made in conformity with 'the extraordinary parallelisms which the history of the Old Testament presents. A little attention to these divisions, compared with the summary which is found on pages 43, 44, will establish several great landmarks in the chronology Of the Scriptures, to which intermediate events may be easily referred, so that each shall take its relative position in the long series of ages, without encumbering the memory with a wearisome accumulation of historical dates. Such indeed is the beautiful simplicity of the chronology of the Bible, that its great outlines, may, in a single hour, he so impressed on the memory as never to be forgotten.
By means of the Chronological Table and the General Index, this book, like the Historical Geography, offers the advantages of a Gazetteer for occasional reference, as well as of a manual for the consecutive reading and study of the Bible.
