230 BRIEF COMPEND OF BIBLE TRUTH. VU BY ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER, D. D., PROFESSOR IN THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, AT PRINCETON PHILADELPHIA : PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. BT 77 A3 1846 Copy! GIFT JUL2 253 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1846, by in the Office of the District Court for the Eastern District ADVERTISEMENT. AT the request of a benevolent friend, the author prepared a brief Compend of Bible Truth, to be inserted in a volume intended for the instruction of the Blind, which contained also Prayers and Hymns to aid their devotions. When this volume was published by the Presbyterian Board of Publication, it was thought this small Compend might be rendered useful to others, as well as the Blind. Accordingly, it was printed in a diminutive volume, which, though it treated on the most vital subjects of theology, might be read from beginning to end in two or three hours. This little volume was published without the author's name. Being however persuaded, that it might with advantage be enlarged, he has added what increases the volume to more than double the size of the original publication; and this, not by adding to the chapters already printed, which are left unaltered, but by introducing other subjects, not treated in the Compend at first prepared. iii |
