Book Description

Excerpt from Religious Emblems and Allegories: A Series of Engravings, With Suitable Letter-Press, Designed to Illustrate Divine Truth In times like the present, it is important to seize upon every opportunity, and to use all lawful means, to convey Divine truth to the mind. Infidelity is using the press to pervert, degrade, and ruin the souls of the young. Licentiousness is in league with infidelity, and together they are doing immense mischief to the rising generation. The Church of Christ has done much to counteract the influence of an infidel and licentious press; but much yet remains to be done. Under this impression, we rejoice to see works of a moral or spiritual character published in a cheap form, and circulated largely among the masses. But we especially rejoice when works calculated to arrest the attention, interest the mind, and sanctify the heart of young persons are published and circulated among us. With such feelings we wish to introduce to parents, teachers, and young persons, this volume. It is simple - Scriptural - adapted to arrest the attention, and impress the heart. It is an attempt to please, in order to profit; to interest, in order to instruct; to impress, in order to improve. Here are flowers and food, fancy and facts, faith and feeling, doctrines and duties. It speaks to the eye, that it may improve the heart. It cautions the careless, counsels the perlexed, and comforts the cast-down. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
