RECOMMENDATIONS.

From Roberts Vaux, Esq., President of the Pennsylvania Education Society
It affords me pleasure, whilst I regard it a duty, to confess how much I
feel indebted to Dr. Smiley for his compendious "Scripture Geography," a
volume, the composition of which is the result of great research into vari
ons and rare authorities in this department of knowledge, that are acces
sible to very few persons. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES will be rendered more
intelligible and interesting after the perusal of this work, the whole scope.
of which seems to me to be eminently calculated, to give "energy to virtue
and confidence to truth." Every class of readers may derive instruction
from its pages, and it will be especially valuable in all schools for the right
education of youth.

ROBERTS VAUX.

From the Christian Index, edited by the Rev. Dr. Brantly.

"The professions of the title-page are ably sustained, in the subsequent pages of the work. The matter is abundant, judiciously arranged, and clearly set forth. The Scripture Geography should be at once introduced into all families, and schools, and its contents well digested by young and old. Any book containing Geographical allusions cannot be understood without a knowledge of the places referred to. DR. SMILEY is already well known as the author of a most useful general Geography.
