BY-PATHS OF BIBLE KNOWLEDGE,
PUBLISHED BY
The Religious Tract Society.
"The volumes which the Committee of the Religious Tract Society is issuing under the above title fully deserve success. Most of them have been entrusted to scholars who have a special acquaintance with the subjects about which they severally treat."—The Athenæum.

"In every way interestingly written."—Literary Churchman.

"An interesting little book, well deserving of perusal."—Literary Churchman.
"An excellent and cheap compendium of information on a subject of intense and perpetual interest."—Watchman.
"An admirable addition to this excellent series of By-Paths of Bible Knowledge.' Mr. Budge's method is sound, and his book is worthy of his reputation."—Saturday Review.
"A very readable little book, which tells the general reader all he need care to know about the life of the old people of Chaldea."—Athenæum.
"Will be of great service to all who desire to realise the actual surroundings amid which our Lord spent His life on earth, and will be specially useful in correcting some false notions which have obtained wide currency; e.g., the common idea that Nazareth was a small, obscure, and immoral place."—Congregationalist.
"This is one of the most interesting of the series to which it belongs. It is the result of personal observation, and the work of a practised geological observer. . . . . The questions raised in this little volume are discussed in the light of the most advanced knowledge and of large scientific faculty, and at the same time with great religious reverence"—British Quarterly Review.
"A little masterpiece, it presents with scientific accuracy, and yet in a thoroughly popular form, all that is of most essential significance in the realised information respecting that old-world history and life."—Christian Leader.
"A little book that contains a vast amount of information respecting that historic land, Egypt. . . . The history and explanation of the hieroglyphics and the discovery of their interpretation is lucidly and ably told."—Times.
"We cannot too thoroughly commend this work, both on account of the subjects of which it treats, and for its intrinsic literary worth."—Provincial Medical Journal.
"A useful little volume for Bible teachers and readers."—Saturday Review.
"Apart from its religious value, this little volume must approve itself to all lovers of botany."—Times.
"A capital handbook for teachers. The alphabetical arrangement is convenient, the woodcuts are good, the information is clear, exact, and drawn from the best, authorities, as well as from the writer's observation as a traveller and student of natural history in Palestine and Syria. Commendable care is shown in the elucidation of obscure points and dubious translations. A classified list of the various animals, fish, birds, and reptiles, and an index to Scripture references are appended, and will be of great assistance to readers and teachers."—Saturday Review.
"The most complete, handy, and accurate account of the animals mentioned in Scripture. The illustrations enhance the value of the book."—British Weekly.
