THE TREASURES OF THE BIBLE: 



CONSISTING OF 



CHOICE EXTRACTS ON THE LEADING TOPICS OF HOLY SCRIPTURE 

 CAREFULLY GATHERED AND ARRANGED 



BV 



THE REV. EDWIN DAVIES, D.D., 



AUTHOR OF "SELECT THOUGHTS ON THE MINISTRY AND THE CHURCH," "OTHER MEN's MINDS," ETC. 



AND DEDICATED, BY PERMISSION, TO 



The Right Hon. LORD HALSBURY. 



THERE is no work in the whole range of sacred Hterature altogether like this for 

 fulness and variety. It is indeed a library in miniature, containing the best thoughts of 

 more than two thousand of the best writers, both ancient and modern, on the cardinal 

 themes of the Holy Volume, namely — The Animals of the Bible, the Battles of the Bible, 

 the Christ of the Bible, the Customs of the Bible, the Decalogue of the Bible, the God of 

 the Bible, the Heavens of the Bible, the Lands of the Bible, the Men of the Bible, the 

 Miracles of the Bible, the Mountains of the Bible, the Offerings of tlie Bible, the Orders of 

 the Bible, the Ordinances of the Bible, the Parables of the Bible, the Peoples of the Bible, 

 the Places of the Bible, the Plants of the Bible, the Prophecies of the Bible, the Sanctuaries 

 of the Bible, the Spirit of the Bible, the Storms of the Bible, the Types of the Bible, the 

 Virtues ol the Bible, the Waters of the Bible, and the Women of the Bible. 



These numerous Extracts, which have occupied nearly twelve years in selecting, have 

 been taken from standard works, both classical and P'.nglish, deposited in public and private 

 libraries, and are exceedingly beautiful, suggestive, and valuable. They are, moreover, in 

 full accord with the discoveries and scholarship of the day, while the theology is free from 

 all extremes, and harmonizes with the catholic belief of the Church throughout the world. 



The whole of the Extracts are arranged in analytical or alphabetical order, not only 

 as regards the principal subjects, but each Extract is so disposed under its proper heading 

 as to enable the reader to turn immediately to any quotation specially desired, thus super- 

 seding the requirement of a general index. 



The illustrations have been selected with great care, and comprise many views of well- 

 known places and districts in the Holy Land, together with engravings of subjects likely to be 

 of assistance to students and teachers. 



Hence this Volume will place in the hands of all ministers, students, teachers, and 

 others who have to deal with the prime truths of Divine Inspiration, a careful selection 

 of the most precious materials ready for their use the moment they need them.
