ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES; or, The Bible presented
under Distinct and Classified Heads or Topics. By JOHN EADIE, D.D., LL.
D., Author of "Biblical Cyclopaedia," "Dictionary of the Bible," &c., &c.
One volume, royal octavo, 836 pp. Cloth. $3.00; sheep, $3.50. _Just
published._
The publishers would call the special attention of clergymen and
others to some of the peculiar features of this great work.
1. It is a concordance of _subjects_, not of _words_. In this it
differs from the common concordance, which, of course, it does not
supersede. Both are necessary to the Biblical student.
2. It embraces all the topics, both secular and religious, which
are naturally suggested by the entire contents of the Bible. In
this it differs from Scripture Manuals and Topical Text-books,
which are confined to religious or doctrinal topics.
3. It contains _the whole of the Bible without abridgment_,
differing in no respect from the Bible in common use, except in the
classification of its contents.
4. It contains a synopsis, separate from the concordance,
presenting within the compass of a few pages a bird's-eye view of
the whole contents.
5. It contains a table of contents, embracing nearly two thousand
heads, arranged in alphabetical order.
6. It is much superior to the only other work in the language
prepared on the same general plan, and is offered to the public at
much less cost.
The purchaser gets not only a _Concordance_, but also a _Bible_, in
this volume. The superior convenience arising out of this
fact,--saving, as it does, the necessity of having two books at
hand and of making two references, instead of one,--will be readily
apparent.
The general subjects (under each of which there are a vast number
of sub-divisions) are arranged as follows, viz.:
Agriculture,
Animals,
Architecture,
Army, Arms,
Body,
Canaan,
Covenant,
Diet and Dress,
Disease and Death,
Earth,
Family,
Genealogy,
God,
Heaven,
Idolatry, Idols,
Jesus Christ,
Jews,
Laws,
Magistrates,
Man,
Marriage,
Metals and Minerals,
Ministers of Religion,
Miracles,
Occupations,
