 Another prominent feature Is History of All the Religious Denominations of the World These accounts are clear and comprehensive, and are full of valuable information.

 The Life of the Savior and the Lives of the Apostles are also given at considerable length. and in such manner as to be of great service to every reader of the Bible. The Wander ipgs of the Isrseiites in the Wilderness are related. and the Tabernacle and Temple are described with great miauteness.
