 opportunity of extensive reading, often 

 mis* much of what they might enjoy, from 

 a want of due information. The object of 

 this little book is to supply just that in-

and give vividness to each Scripture nar- 

 rative, so that the mind shall picture to 

 itself each scene as it really took place. In

 which they were placed, and of the reli- 

 gious ideas which they possessed.
