Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Old and New Testament: Interspersed With Moral and Instructive Reflections, Chiefly Taken From the Holy Fathers An abridgment of the historical books of the Old and New Testaments was compiled in French by a noted writer of the last century, and published under the borrowed name of Royaumont. It is written in a plain, easy style, suitable to the subject, and formed upon a plan, judiciously chosen, as it seems, to initiate youth in the early knowledge of Holy Scripture, and well calculated to point out a method of reading the Sacred History with advantage. The narrative is distributed into paragraphs, and the paragraphs are concluded with such moral and instructive reflections, as are suggested, chiefly by the holy fathers, to render the subject more intelligible and useful. A work of this kind in the English language had been frequently called for, and, in obedience to that call, a translation of the French historical abridgment was begun, under the encouragement of a liberal and gracious patronage. The translator had not far advanced in his undertaking, before he perceived, that the author´s intended brevity had made his performance, in many parts, defective and obscure; and that, to convey any tolerably clear and connected account of the Sacred History, the rules of translation were to be set aside, and the text itself more closely attended to.
