Preface to Second Edition.

In sending forth this second edition of The Bible Book by Book it has
seemed wise to make some changes in it. The descriptive matter has

The author feels a deep gratitude that the first edition has been so
soon sold. He indulges the hope that it has been found helpful and
sends out this edition with a prayer that it may prove more valuable
than did the former.
