Excerpt from Life Pictures From the Bible, or Illustrations of Scripture Character The object of this volume is to commend the book of God to the favour able attention of all those, both parents and teachers, who are charged with the education of youth, and especially to the attention of the young themselves, as a book of permanent historic and biographic interest; and as such, furnishing the richest store-house of example, and the surest guide in the formation of character. It cannot be, that a book which deals so much in illustrations of life and character, as the Bible, should be devoid of interest to the young, or fail to furnish them with important aid in the development of their own characters, and the regulation of their own lives.
