SCRIPTURE DIFFICULTIES

EXAMINED.

THE POST-MOSAIC HISTORIES.

BY

WILLIAM CARPENTER,

AUTHOR OF A POPULAR INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE SCRIPTURES;
A HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS; THE ABRIDGMENT OF CALMET'S DICTIONARY
OF THE BIBLE; AND OTHER WORKS ON BIBLICAL CRITICISM AND
INTERPRETATION.

Many and painful are the researches, usually necessary to be made for settling these difficulties. Pertness and ignorance may ask a question in three lines, which it will cost learning and ingenuity thirty pages to answer. When this is done, the same question shall be triumphantly asked again the next year, as if nothing had ever been written on the subject. Hence the odds must ever be against us; and we must be content with those for our friends who have honesty and erudition, candour and patience, to study both sides of the question.-BISHOP HORNE.

NOTICE.

The Reader will find that each volume after the first has a double paging, the top series of figures being limited to the individual volume, the bottom one running on through each four volumes, which will thus ultimately form one, with a continuous paging, and new title-pages and contents. Thus each subject is completed in a single volume, but the whole of the twelve volumes will be so arranged as to form an unbroken work, in three thick volumes -AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE ENGLISH BIBLE.

The following have been published :

1. THE ENGLISH BIBLE; How to read and study it.

2. THE SYMBOLICAL AND FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE OF THE BIBLE. 3. THE BEAUTIES AND PECULIARITIES OF STYLE IN THE BIBLE.

4. MODERN INFIDELITY AND BIBLIOPHOBIA.

5. BIBLICAL NATURAL HISTORY; Astronomy, Geology, and Botany. 6. BIBLICAL NATURAL HISTORY; Zoography.

7. SCRIPTURE DIFFICULTIES, REAL AND IMAGINARY.

8. AN EXAMINATION OF SCRIPTURE DIFFICULTIES; The Pentateuch. -The Post-Mosaic
