ILLOSTRATIOMS OF THE HOLY SORIFTOHES,

DERIVED PRINCIPALLY FROM THE MANNERS, CUSTOMS, ANTIQUITIES, TRADITIONS, 



AND FORMS OF SPEECH, RITES, CLIMATE, WORKS OF ART, AND 



LITERATURE OF THE EASTERN NATIONS: 



EMBODYING ALL THAT IS VALUABLE IN THE WORKS OF 



ROBERTS, HARIVEER, BURBER, PAXTON, CHANDLER, 



And the most celebrated oriental travellers. Embracing also the Object of Che Fulfilment of 



Prophecy, as exhibited by Keith and others; with descriptions of the present state

ILLUSTRATED BY NUMEROUS LANDSCAPE ENGRAVINGS, 



FROM 8KETCUES TAKEN ON THE SPOT. 



Edited by llev. George Bush, 



Professor of Hebrew and Oriental Literature in the New York City University. 



The importance of this work must be obvious, and, being altogether ilJustratrvt, without reference 

 to doctrines, or other points in which Christians differ, it is hoped it will meet with favour from all 

 who love Che sacred volume, and that it will be sufficiently interesting and attractive to recommend 

 itself, not only to professed Christians of all denominations, but also to the general reader. The 

 arrangement of the texts illustrated with the notes, in the order of the chapters and verses of the 

 authorized version of the Bible, will render it convenient for reference to particular passages; 

 while the copious Index at the end will at once enable the reader to turn to every subject discussed 

 in the volume. 



This volume is not designed to take the place of Commentaries, but is a distinct department of biblical 

 instruction, and may <'<c used as a companion to the Comprehensive or any other Commentary, or the 

 Holy Bible. 



THE ENGRAVINGS 



tn this volume, it is believed, will form no small part of its attractions. No pains have been spared 

 to procure such as should embellish the work, and, at the same time, illustrate the text. Objec- 

 tions that have been made to the pictures commonly introduced into the Bible, as being mere crea- 

 tions of fancy and the imagination, ollen unlike nature, and frequently conveying false impressions, 

 cannot be urged against the pictorial illustrations of this volume Here the fine arts are made 

 subservient to utility, the landscape views being, without an exception, matter-of-fact views of places 

 mentioned in Scripture, as they appear at the present day , thus m many instances exhibiting, in the 

 most forcible manner, to the eye, the strict and literal fulfilment of the remarkable prophecies; "the 

 present ruined and desolate condition of the cities of Babylon, Nineveh, Selah. Ac, and the coun- 

 tries of Echini and Egypt, are astonishing examples, and no completely exemplify, in the most 

 minute particulars, every thing which was foretold of them in the height of their prosperity, that 

 no »»etter description can now t«j given of them than a simple quotation from a chapter and verse 

 of the Bible written nearly two or three thousand years ago " The publishers are enabled to select 

 from several collections lately published in London, the proprietor of one of which says that "seve- 

 ral distinguished travellers have afforded him the use of nearly Three Hundred Original Sketches'" 

 of Scripture places, made upon the spot. " The land of Palestine, it is well known, abounds in 

 scenes of the most picturesque beauty. Syria comprehends the snowy heights of Lebanon, and the 

 majestic ruins of Tadmor and Baalbec." 

 The above work can be had in various styles of binding. 



Price from $1 50 to $5 00. 



THE ILLUSTRATED CONCORDANCE, 



In one volume, royal 8vo. 



A new, full, and complete Concordance ; illustrated with monumental, traditional, and oriental 

 engravings, founded on Butterworth's, with Cruden's definitions; forming, it is believed, on many 

 accounts, a more valuable work than either Butterworth, Cruden, or any other similar book in the 

 language. 



The value of a Concordance is now generally understood ; and those who have used one, con- 

 sider it indispensable in connection with the Bible Some of the many advantages the Illustrated 

 Concordance has over all the others, are. that it <N«iit;uiis near two hundred appropriate engravings \ 

 it is printed on line white paper, with beautiful large type. 



Price One Dollar.
