Excerpt from Help to the Reading of the Bible

This little work cannot lay claim to originality. It is chiefly composed of hints selected from the works of others, which have not been in all cases distinctly referred to. Nor must the reader expect a full and detailed account of such knowledge as may be required for a profitable study of the Scriptures. The object of the author has been merely to give such a view of the Sacred Volume, as may, through the Divine blessing, awaken a desire to "search the Scriptures, " and assist those who are making a first effort to do so.

The practical benefit to be derived from the Holy Scriptures depends upon the disposition of mind in which we read them.
