Excerpt from Manual of Biblical Interpretation Subject of which it treats is one of great impor tance, no intelligent reader of the Bible will be disposed to deny; and yet for the want, perhaps, of a book on the science easily accessible, and neither too concise and technical on the one hand, nor too copious and diffuse on the other, it has not received the attention either from ministers or from the readers of, the Bible generally, to which it is justly entitled. That the present work may be instrumental of promoting a more gen eral appreciation of the science, and of directing the minds of Biblical students to a more attentive study of the Principles which lie at the basis of all sound and rational interpretation of the Sacred Volume, is the earnest prayer of the author.
