PREFACE

This JUVENILE BIBLE, or TABLES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, being a
Metrical Index to the Old and New Testament, has with much Labour been
compiled for the Edification of Youth.  By means of this little
Instructor, the reader is not only made acquainted with the chief
Contents of every Chapter, but likewise with the number of chapters in
every Book.  This methodical arrangement is as follows:

Every Book _that exceeds five Chapters_ is divided into Stanzas, each
Stanza, acrostic-like, beginning with A, B, C, &c. the Stanzas contain
four lines each, and every line is a Chapter (except otherwise
distinguished, as the Chapters are numbered in the margin by figures);
thus B, beginning the second Stanza and fifth line, is the fifth
Chapter, C the 9th, D the 13th, E the 17th, &c. as far as N, which is
the 49th Chapter, no Book containing more than 52, except the
