From Rev. Cyrus Dickson, D.D. The works of Dr. Kitto are very valuable to parents and teachers and others in the study of the Holy Scriptures. His "Illustrated History of the Bible," besides describing the manners and customs and localities mentioned in the Scriptures, furnishes an account of the events and revolutions in that difficult and important period of some 400 years, extending from the close of the canon of the Old Testament to the incarnation. The twenty-fourth chapter of this work throws much reliable light upon this era. I cordially commend the work to any whom my opinion may influence. CYRUS DICKSON, Pastor Westminster Presbyterian Church. Sept. 16, 1867. From Rev. Andrew Longacre. DEAR SIR,—With sincere satisfaction I add my testimony to that of the many others in your possession in favor of this work of Dr. Kitto's.

I have examined with very considerable carefulness Dr. Kitto's "Illustrated History of the Bible,” and find it to be a valuable work.
