Sinopsis

Excerpt from Biblical Reader: Consisting of Rhetorical Extracts From the Old and New Testaments, to Which Is Applied a Notation, Designed to Assist in the Public and Private Reading of the Scriptures

As stated in the quotation from the Preface of the Rhetorical Reader, the object of this Book is to aid in rearling the Bible. There are few books which may be made to excite greater interest, when read with suitable emphasis and inflections. Yet few books are read with such an utter want of expression.-a sort of sacred tone or chant, is adopted in reading the Bible, by many whose tones are perfectly natural in reading other books. When this is not the case, there is frequently a total neglect of that antithetic stress which is so peculiarly necessary in reading many parts of the Scriptures.

Excerpt from Biblical Reader: Consisting of Rhetorical Extracts From the Old and New Testaments, to Which Is Applied a Notation, Designed to Assist in the Public and Private Reading of the Scriptures

The design of publishing a volume of "Biblical Extracts" was announced in the spring of 1831 - in the preface of the Rhetorical Reader. The author there says "It was my intention to include in the Exercises, Part 2nd,(of the Rhetorical Reader) a greater proportion of Extracts from the Bible, than I have done in Part 1st; both because I think it furnishes many of the best lessons for rhetorical reading; and because the book which, more than all others, is adapted to promote the Salvation and Sanctification of the Young, has been too much neglected in all departments of Education. But as I wished to make this selection, not for the young merely, but also with a special view to those who are called to read the Bible as heads of families, or still more publicly, as preachers of the Gospel, sufficient room could not be found for it, in the present volume.
