The Sopsregns of the Bible BY ELIZA R. SrKKLE. New
| York. M. w. Dopp For sale by TAYLOR & MAuRr)
These memoirs are collected from the books OF Samuel
Kings Chronicles and the Prophets. In the words OF
the author, "they sent forth with hope that the
story of race so favored Of God and rebelous may
be faught with interest to all who read it." The
noirs of Saul, the first king Of the Hebrews, and of
David and Solomon, occupy the first half of the volumes
the remainder of which comprises short biographies OF
the kings of Judah and Israel. The difficult task OF pre-
pairing connected biographical memoirs from the Sacred
Writings has been most faithfully and admirably Rer-
formed and we hope the work will be received with the
favor it so richly deserves.
