For a general Preface to the series of which this volume is the second, the reader is referred to volume I. The present Volume deals with a much larger portion of the Bible than any of the others, and with a portion that is more neglected than any other by the average Bible student. The large amount of matter included, together with the difficult method by which much of it must be gathered out of the prophetical books, necessitates much abbreviation and the omission of some details in order to get over the ground in one college year; and even when thus reduced the task imposed on the student is severer than that of any other year in the Sacred History course. It has been a very laborious task to arrange all the matter in the form here presented, and the author cannot flatter himself that in every particular the form is the best; but such as it is, he put it in print, that criticism and further use may test its merits.
