Excerpt from Sephora a Hebrew Tale, Descriptive of the Country of Palestine, and of the Manners and Customs of the Ancient Israelites
I send you, my Son, the little volumes of Sephora for publication, believing that they will prove a very useful and acceptable present to the reading community.
This unpresuming work gives such an exhibition of the domestic and social state of the Jews, just before the time when our Saviour entered on his public ministry, that the reader becomes in a sense contemporary. Their religious institutions, rites, and ceremonies, - the delusions of idolatry, with which some were bewildered; and the awakened expectations of the Messiah, who was to be "the consolation of Israel," which were becoming prevalent, are set off by a graceful narrative, the incidents of which are exceedingly interesting; while the dawning of the Sun of Righteousness sheds a divine light on the closing scene.
Young people will be pleased with the story; and all, from the descriptions of places, and the delineations of manners, may derive much information, and he better able to understand many particulars in the Gospel which are now but little noticed.
