Excerpt from The Library of the University of California Los Angeles
In the preparation of the present text-book, the primary consideration has been its utility as a means of instruction. Opinions will differ as to the relative importance of the topics that had to be treated, and the proportion of space that ought to be assigned to different branches of the subject The writer has kept continually in view the circumstances of young people in Guilds and Bible-Classes; and, according to the best of his judgment, has given the information they are most likely to desire, in such a form as will neither perplex nor mislead them. References to larger works have been purposely omitted in an elementary handbook. Teachers of classes and directors of guilds, who, presumably, know whither to turn for fuller details, will be able to supplement what is here stated in outline, and will be guided by the circumstances of their pupils in the recommendation of other books.
