PREFACE.

THE attention of our readers is directed to the following points, all of which seem necessary in order to a successful use of these Manuals at an examination ::

1. A careful analysis of the book, so as to know what we are reading about in any chapter. See pp. 6-8.

2. A general but clear idea of the time at which the several journeys were made. See App. C.

3. Reference to the Map of the Journeys, so as to connect the places referred to with the journeys and the period during the 40 years in which they were made (all having taken place in the 1st, 2nd, and 40th years).

4. After reading carefully the notes (referring from them continually to the map), to try to recall the information contained in them by reading over the italics in the text.

5. A good general knowledge of the Festivals of the Jewish year (see Scriptures Arranged, by the Author of this Manual, where a Table of Festivals will be found, with an explanation).

6. A good acquaintance with the sacrifices and offerings on each festival or other occasion. Chaps. vi., vii.,

viii., xv., xxviii., and xxix.

7. These, with a knowledge of the events contained in the history, should suffice for a fair examination.
