PREFACE

A

COLLECTION of all the striking

incidents of Scripture would fill a large volume; so that in preparing a small one, selection must be made. As, in doing this, I have included the great facts of both the Old and New Testaments, together with some of the minor ones, that have always been found especially interesting, I hope the little book will prove acceptable to young readers.

LONDON, September 1865.
