Excerpt from General Introduction to the Study of the Holy Scriptures The present volume is not an altogether new work. As stated in the title-page, it is an abridged edition of the larger volume on General Introduction which the present writer published a few years ago. Although this larger work was well received by the public, as proved by. The fact that its third edition is nearly exhausted, professors of Holy Scripture often expressed the wish that a shorter form of it could be issued. An abridged edition, it was argued, would enable students to cover more easily the ground of General Introduction within the short space of time at their disposal, while the unabridged work would prove to them a valuable book of reference, and continue to be useful to priests on the mission and to readers generally. It was also supposed that in its shorter form the General Introduction would be wel come as a text-book in colleges and other institutions where the larger work had but little chance to be adopted. It is for these and similar reasons that the present edition has been prepared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
