The expense of preparing this work has been very heavy, as, in addition
to the closely condensed printed matter, it has bean necessary to execute
upwards of FIVE HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS, in order effectually to explain and
embellish the various subjects of scientific, historical, and
geographical information which the work embraces; but the publishers
confidently rely on the intelligence and liberality of the public for
remuneration.
This is one of the most useful books published, of which 100,000 copies
have been sold in England. Price, elegantly bound in Two Volumes, only
FIVE DOLLARS.

THE CHRISTIAN’S LEGACY;
OR,
BIBLE DIRECTORY.
BY THE REV. WILLIAM JACKSON.
* * * * *
THE CHRISTIAN’S LEGACY having gone through 10 editions, in a short space
of time, the writer has no other apology to offer for the 11th edition,
than a belief of its proving useful to _all_ Christians of every
denomination.
A conviction that a knowledge of the Bible, above all other books, is
calculated “_to make one wise_;” and that an advantage is given to the
enemy by not attending to our Lord’s admonition, “_Search the
Scriptures_,” led to an attempt to assist the inquirer in his “_Search_”
after TRUTH.
