ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE OF THE HOLY SCRrTDHES; 

 or, The Bible presented under Distinct and Classified Heads or Tcpic By JOHN 

 EADIE, D. D., LL. D., Author of "Biblical Cyclopaedia," " Dicti(..,ary of the 

 Bible," &c., &c. One volume, royal octavo, 836 pp. Cloth, $3.00; sheep, $3.50. 

 Just published. 



The publishers would call the special attention of clergymen and others to some of the peculiar 

 features of this great work. 



1. It is a concordance of suJtyects, not of words. In this it differs from the common concordance, 

 which, of course, it does not supersede. Both are necessary to the Biblical student. 



2. It embraces all the topics, both secular and religious, which are naturally suggested by the entire 

 contents of the Bible. In this it differs from Scripture Manuals and Topical Text-books, which are 

 lonfined to religious or doctrinal topics. 



3. It contains the whole of the Bible without abridgment, differing in no respect from the Bible in 

 common use, except in the classification of its contents. 



4. It contains a synopsis, separate from the concordance, presenting within the compass of a few 

 pages a bird's-eye view of the whole contents. 



5. It contains a table of contents, embracing nearly two thousand heads, arranged in alphabetical 

 order. 



6. It is much superior to the only other work in the language prepared on the same general plan, 

 od is offered to the public at much less cost. 



The purchaser gets not only a Concordance, but also a Bihle, in this volume. The superior con- 

 venience arising out of this fact, saving, as it does, the necessity of having two bookj at hand and 

 of making two references, instead of one, will be readily apparent. 



The general subjects (under each of vrhich there are a vast number of sub-divisions) are arranged 

 8fl follows, viz. : 



Agriculture, Genealogy, Ministers of Religion, Sacrifice, 



Animals, God, Miracles, Scriptures, 



Architecture, Heaven, Occupations, Speech, 



Army, Arms, Idolatry, Idols, Ordinances, Spirits, 



Body, Jesus Christ, Parables and Emblems, Tabernacle and Temple, 



Canaan, Jews, Persecution, Vineyard and Orchard, 



Covenant, Laws, Praise and Prayer, Visions and Dreams, 



Diet and Dress, Magistrates, Prophecy, "War, 



Disease and Death, Man, Providence, Water. 



Earth, Marriage, Redemption, 



Family, Metals and Minerals, Sabbaths and Holy Days, 



That such a work as this is of exceeding great convenience is matter of obvious remark. But it 

 is much more than that ; it is also an instructive work. It is adapted not only to assist the student 

 in prosecuting the investigation of preconceived ideas, but also to impart ideas which the most care- 

 ful reading of the Bible in its ordinary arrangement might not suggest. Let him take up any one of 

 the subjects " Agriculture," for example and see if such be not the case. This feature places 

 the work in a higher grade than that of the common Concordance. It shows it to be, so to speak, a 

 work of more mind. 



No Biblical student would willingly dispense with this Concordance when once possessed. It is 

 adapted to the necessities of all classes, clergymen and theological students; Sabbath-school 

 uperintendents and teachers; authors engaged in the composition of religious and even secular 

 works; and, in fine, common readers of the Bible, intent only on their own improvement,
