bv surprising achievements 10 Biblical science.
No other period was ever rich IN historical dis

Dr Smith associated with himself over 10 OF the
most eminent schOlers Of this country and Europe,
In all departments Of Biblical learning and re-

treasury Of knowledge respecting the Bible.
Having finished this great work, DIR. ), then
prepared an ABniDGMENr, (the work being in D
massive octave volumes, was too large and costly
for the public generality which should include
all that Is best adapted 10 the needs of Christian
families and Sabbath School Teachers. This is
tho work now republished in the country whose
title we have given, and we do not hesitate to say
that Il souid 90 into erery dpeliing where there IS
any desire TO read and study the Bible intei-
gently and with profit. Every person connected

This edition Of Messrs. Burr Co. Is in the
highest style Of the art, largely illustrated with
elegant wood and steel eugravings aud maps,
printed in clear aud beautiful type, and in every
respect is n harmony with the high character and
value Of The work. No house surpasses this
young and enterprising publishing firm in the
artistic finish and elegance OF their books. And
in tho issue of this, they have spared pains nor
crpense 1t has several special and essential
merits beyond the English edition, and especially
ocer any other reprint in this country. The errors
which were overlooked in the English edition have
been corrected by most careful and scholarly
supervision. And above all this il gives the pro-
nunciation Of Scripture names, according to the
best photographer Ct this country. The English
pronunciation is very unlike ours, and in hundreds
of instances wrong. Messrs Burr h Co.'s edition
is the ouiy reprint Of DR.. Smiths own abrdgneni,
and the only edition in which the American pro-
nunciation is given. This is matter Of very
great imI ortance. At the same time, with all its
elegance and embellishments, IL is the cheuprsi
edition. The book is sold only by subscription.
A work of such permanent and universal interest
and value will find large sale. 1t should find
ils way into every household in the country and
those who wish for remuncrativc employment will
do well to apply N the publishers. It is having
Il large and rapid sale, as nothing but straitened
means can induce any ,eisc parent or InihGi
teacher to decline the offer Of auxiliary for the
understanding Of the Scriptures.
