EXTRACTS

FROM THE

AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

IN continuing these Notes, the Author claims only an earnest desire to promote, especially through Bible Class, Sabbath School, and Family Instruction, the understanding of the glorious Gospel, with the help of such extensive materials as have been gathering of late; knowing, that to bring these within the reach of youth, would best make them accessible to all classes.

The peculiar feature of incorporating the Harmony with the Notes, is retained, with pleasing evidence of its utility for an understanding of the Gospels. Each heading brings to view the subject of the section, the place of its occurrence, the order in the Harmony, and the parallel passages in the other Evangelists. The number of the section, while it shows the historical order, refers also to the 'Synopsis of the Harmony,' in the beginning of the volume on Matthew.

As Matthew was treated with an eye to the parallel narratives, the Notes occupied a volume. Mark and Luke are here given together, as completing the Synoptical Gospels.
