THIS book gives the authorised version of the Book of Genesis arranged in Lessons, with Analyses, Notes, and Summaries. No other work need be used with it, for it at once takes the place of the Bible-without superseding it-and also the handbooks now in such common use by students. It is so arranged that there is a lesson to learn and a lesson to read upon nearly every subject, and the summaries at the heads of lessons may with advantage be revised alone, just before examination. Important texts to be committed to memory are printed in larger type. M. T. Y. Joseph's Policy in Egypt OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY. THE BOOK OF GENESIS. GENESIS.
