consulted many of the best authorities, and has spared no research nor labour, in order to render his work acceptable and useful. In noticing the events which have distinguished the places of Scripture, he has rendered the study of sacred topography highly interesting, as well as useful. Parents would do well to place such a publication in the hands of their children, as a companion to the Bible. The historical portion of the sacred volume possesses for the youthful mind an untiring interest, and is well suited, if it was not even prospectively designed, to meet that craving after information concerning ancient times and distant lands, by which the young are distinguished. That love for the narrative part of Scripture should be cherished, as it may lead on the youthful inquirer to an acquaintance with those truths which are able to make him wise unto salvation. But in proportion to his avidity for historic information, it is important that his ideas of places and events should be, so to speak, correctly mapped, by the careful study of works like the present; otherwise he may be increasing his stock of knowledge at the expense of its availableness. The writer will only add that, for the Christian student, the value of the work is greatly enhanced by the chapters on Hebrew literature, and on the divine legation of Moses.
