•„• The reader is here presented with a work, the leading
object of which is, to enable hint to acquire the must useful know-
ledge with the greatest facility and satisfaction. Two great obsta-
cles to the reading of the Scripture have been, the defectiveness
of the translations which have been made of them, and the in-
termixture of a considerable portion of less important matter with
what is confessedly most excellent. Both these the Editor has
used his best abilities, and availed himself of the best helps afforded
him, to remove. The selections have been chiefly made agreea-
bly to the recommendation of the celebrated Dr. Watts. The
omitted parts consist principally of genealogies, and other lists
of names of men and places, recitals of Jewish ceremonies, and
ritual observances ; histories of bloody wars, and wicked rulers ;
descriptions of buildings, and narrations involving circumstances
nut the most delicate.
