"We know, on the highest of all authorities, that 'the works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.' ... It is to the contemplation of some of the corresponding wonders on our earth that we here invite attention.  Who can doubt that the four Seasons of the year, when studied in the light of the Bible, may suggest marvel after marvel to the meditative mind?"--Preface.
