THE STUDENT'S MYTHOLOGY is a practical work, prepared by an experienced teacher, and submitted to the decisive test of the School-room, having been in use in "manuscript" for three years, and meeting with great favor from teachers and pupils, - preferring it, even in that inconvenient form, to other text-books on the subject.
Copies were eagerly sought by other institutions, and the Compiler consented to its publication.
GEORGETOWN COLLEGE, GEORGETOWN, DC.
"THE STUDENT'S MYTHOLOGY is a work every way fitting to be placed in the hands of the class for whom it was prepared, and indeed will be read with pleasure by any one. In its pages nothing will be found of a nature to offend delicacy; while its limpid style, and its numerous poetical and historical illustra tions, cannot but attract the student, improve the taste, and inform the mind. It is learned without being heavy, and comprehensive without being lengthy."

"Those who visit or who describe the scenes of sacred history expressly for the sake of finding confirmations of Scripture, are often tempted to mislead themselves and others by involuntary exaggeration or invention. But this danger ought not to prevent us from thankfully welcoming any such evidences as can truly be found to the faithfulness of the sacred records.
"One such aid is sometimes sought in the supposed fulfilment of the ancient prophecies by the appearance which some of the sites of Syrian or Arabian cities present to the modern traveller. But, as a general rule, these attempts are only mischiev ous to the cause which they intend to uphold. The present aspect of these sites may rather, for the most part, be hailed as a convincing proof that the Sirit of prophecy is not so to be bound down. The continuous existence of Damascus and Sidon, the existing ruins of Ascalon, Petra, and Tyre, showing the revival of those cities long after the extinction of the powers which they once represented, are standing monuments c a most important truth; namely, that the warnings delivered by 'holy men of old' were aimed not against stocks and stones, but then, as always, against living souls and sins, whether of men or of nations."-From Author's Introduction.
