Albany.

From Rev. W. H. Goodrich, D.D.

From my knowledge both of Dr. Kitto and of
Dr. Bond, I can add my cordial concurrence
with the above recommendation (Dr. Walcott’s).

W. H. GOODRICH, D.D.,
Pastor of Ist Presbyterian Church,
[Dr. Goodrich is one of the big guns. ]

 

From Rev. S. G&. Buckingham, D.D.

The ability of Dr. Kitto in this department
of scholarship, and the value of his writings, are
Well known to all biblical students. And such
a work as this would be sure to interest and
profit any family. Its numerous and nice illus-
trations add to its worth. I cheerfully commend
it as an interesting and useful work to this com-

munity.

Pastor South Cong. Church, Springfield, Mass.

 

From Rev. Edward W. Bently.

Few men have done more than Dr. Kitto to ad-
vance a knowledge of the Bible. I can there-
fore most cordially recommend the present work,
I know Dr. Bond, and know that he is abundant-
ly qualified to do his part well.

EDWARD W. BENTLY,
Pastor R. P. D. Church.

 

From Rev. James Green.

Having examined the Bible History of Dr.
Kitto, I find it not only interesting, but well
calculated to benefit the general reader.

JAMES GREEN,
Presiding Elder Dist. M. E. Ch., Cleveland.

 

From Rev. J. H. Means.

From my knowledge of Dr. Kitto’s writings
on biblical subjects, and from the standing of
Dr. Bond, the editor of the present work, I have
no doubt it will be found a retiable and instruc-
tive guide to the contents of the Scriptures.

Dr. Kitto’s History of the Bible is a valuable
compend, and may be read with profit by all
who desire to be improved upon the great sub-

i hich it treats.

From Rev. F. C. Holliday, D.D.

The high reputation of Dr. Kitto as a biblical
scholar, his familiarity with the entire range of
sacred literature, and the acknowledged learning
and ability of Rev. Dr. Bond, the editor, furnish

isfactory guaranty of this work.

From Rev. W. W. Everts, D.D.

_ The history of a book, as of a man, rises in
importance with its greatness. As the Bible has
achieved more for the world than all other books,
its history is more important than that of univer-
sal literature. Kitto’s work has been prepared
with such accuracy and fidelity, as to be a proper
companion of the Bible in the public or private

library.

Pastor of 1st Baptist Church, Chicago.

From Rev. Alfred E. Ives.

The works of John Kitto, D.D., have obtained
a wide celebrity, and I take pleasure in com-
mending his Illustrated History of the Bible to
all who prize the Holy Bible.
ALFRED E. IVES,
Pastor Cong. Church.
Castine, June 5, 1867.

 

From Rev. E. J. Goodspeed.

The interest of the Bible narratives is really
diminished by its being broken up into chapters
and verses. Dr. Kitto, one of the ripest scholars
of Europe, has given us here a continuous har-
monized history of events recorded in the Bible,
and thus contributed to the clearer understaning
and the more thorough appreciation of God’s
dealings with mankind. I cheerfully commend

the work.
E. J. GOODSPEED,
Pastor of 2d Baptist Church, Chicago.

 

From Prof. David Swing.

I do not believe that any one could have con-
ceived of or produced a work in this field of
thought and labor that would surpass this one of
Dr. Kitto, in its promise as to interest and use-
fulness. It makes the disjointed facts of sacred
history into quite a complete story, and thus
enables the memory to hold the truth, and the

heart to love its study.
DAVID SWING,
Pastor of Westminster Church, Chicago.

 

From Rev. Robert Laird Collier.

From the examination I have been able to
give ‘‘Dr. Kitto’s History of the Bible,” I am
free to give it my hearty commendation. The
Bible and all its literature centre so fully in the
great purpose of God to save the world through
Jesus Christ, that I hear with gratification of the
publication of a work by so eminent an author
as Dr. Kitto, which puts in so brief a space mat-
ter of such eternal importance.

ROBT. LAIRD COLLIER,
Pastor of Church of Messiah, Chicago.

 

From Rev. H. G. Ludlow, D.D.

The name of Kitto, as the author of a work,
well nigh renders it unnecessary for the publisher
to annex certificates of its value. This beautiful
edition of the ‘‘ Illustrated Bible History,” with -
its numerous and excellent plates and notes,
cannot fail to have an extensive sale, as it meets
the wants of all who are desirous to ascertain .
the meaning of the ‘‘ Lively Oracles of God.”

H. G. LUDLOW, D.D.
