Excerpt from The Scripture History of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ: Arranged to Illustrate His Divinity, Doctrine and Mission The object of this little work is to illustrate, in a simple and concise way, the Life, Teachings and Divinity of our blessed Lord, and the strict fidelity of the Church to these "first principles." It is designed, and in the opinion of judicious friends happily arranged, for the instruction of the young and those who have neither time nor means to devote to an extended study of the great subjects of which it treats; while to all classes of readers it will be a useful manual, on account of the clearness and simplicity with which it unfolds the leading doctrines of our faith. The Scriptural argument for our Saviour's Divinity, especially, is as complete, compact and convincing as it is possible to comprise in the same space. The style is purposely plain and simple, and the language, as far as practicable, that of the Holy Scriptures; as being in itself the most suitable, and the best every way to be treasured up in the minds of the young and the old. A brief private history of this little book, it is hoped, will give Christian readers an interest in its perusal and circulation.
