Notes

"Of Judaism": pp. 7-9. Two representative examples follow: "Q. Why did God reject them [the Jews], from being his people? A. Because they, being disobedient, profaned his ordinances, slew his prophets, and rejected and crucified his son“ (p. 7). "Q. What is the present state of the Jews? A. They are generally ignorant, degraded and persecuted. In some countries, their prejudices against Christianity are greatly diminished, and a willingness is manifested to examine the New Testament" (p. 8). A perfect copy has a frontispiece and a world map. Shoemaker 6067.
