Worn, but an attractive and generally solid copy of Kitto's excellent and devotionally rich work on the Scriptures.
Spurgeon says:
". . . gentlemen, you will economise rigidly until you have accumulated funds to purchase KITTO'S PICTORIAL BIBLE. You mean to take that goodly freight on board before you launch upon the sea of married life. As you cannot visit the Holy Land, it is well for you that there is a work like the Pictorial Bible, in which the notes of the most observant travellers are arranged under the texts which they illustrate. For the geography, zoology, botany, and manners and customs of Palestine, this will be your counsellor and guide."
Kitto, John. An Illustrated History of the Holy Bible; Being a Connected Account of the Remarkable Events and Distinguished Characters Contained in the Old and New Testaments, and in Jewish History During the Four Hundred Years Intervening Between the Time of Malachi and the Birth of Christ; Including Also the Life of Christ and His Apostles; The Whole Embracing a Period of Four Thousand Years, With Notes Critical, Topographical, and Explanatory. Norwich, Conn. Published by the Henry Bill Publishing Company. 1873. 749pp.
A good copy, bound in leather, a bit rubbed at the extremities but very solid, with bright and clean pages.
