Praise for the Print Edition

. . . Will be welcomed by many interested in the illustration of Bible scenes, who would probably be deterred from the perusal of the original works, by their voluminous topographical references. The book is full of interesting incidents, throwing new lights on many familiar passages of the Old and New Testament.

—Victoria Magazine

The ordinary reader may now have, at a trifling cost, the delightful privilege of visiting with the accomplished author all those places which are rendered famous and dear to the Christian as the secens of Bible history.

—The English Presbyterian Messenger
