The several things aimed at and accomplished, in the plan of the book, are these.

First, A complete harmony of the several Evangelistic narratives, in a consecutive chronological order, thus presenting in one view a complete and perfect picture of our Saviour's life and ministry Every word of each Gospel is given, (except that which is embraced in the two opening chapters,) but in continued and unbroken flow, and not in the fragmentary and disjointed order of chapter and verse, as found in the ordinary form.

Second. The words spoken by Jesus himself are raised out of the page, in reliee by means of larger type; so that if the reader is desirous, he can peruse at a single sitting all the words of the Master left on record, in the order of their utterance, and apart from the words of others, without the labor of selecting.

Third. While the main intent is to present the Gospels in a harmonious arrangement, and especially to give prominence to the divine speaker himself the author has furnished two preliminary and a concluding chapter of real interest and value, in the first of which, by a judicious collocation of passages from the Old and New Testaments, he traces Christ as he appeared in Creation and Providence, as set forth by the Prophets and Apostles. In the second he sketches a brief account of his childhood with appropriate reflections, and in the concluding chapter ending the volume, he gives his words uttered after the ascension, as found in the Epistles and the book of Revelation.

Fourth. Accompanying the volume, is a geographical and historical chart, ingeniously contrived to illustrate the general idea of the book. This chart is entitled "The Walks of Jesus; a Pictorial Chart of the Antediluvian and Patriarchal Periods, and of the Holy Land; for Sunday Schools and Families." It is published in neat and attractive form, and of various sizes, and cannot fail to be a useful accompaniment of Bible study.

I am so pleased with the general plan of this work, and with the manner in which the publisher is executing his idea, that I take great pleasure in commending it as a helpful and convenient companion to all Bible lovers and students.
