Excerpt: "The works which I have chiefly consulted in compiling the following sketch, have been (in addition to the Holy Scriptures) the books of the Apocrypha, Josephus’ Wars of the Jews, the elaborate writings of Prideaux, and a small volume on the history of the Hebrews, published some years ago in India. There is no history more fraught with interest, or conveying more important lessons, than that of God’s chosen nation. There are no annals which display instances of more heroic courage, faith, and self-devotion, -alas! of darker apostasy and crime, -than those of the descendants of Abraham. May the reader rise from the perusal of this brief sketch with a deeper sense of the mercy and justice of God, as revealed in His dealings towards His people."
