prefatory note to the revised edition
a
new edition of this little volume being called for, it is pleasant to find that in the twelve years that have elapsed since the first was published, so little correction should be needed, when so much further work has been done in regard to the numerals and their application to the structure of scripture. i have not attempted to do more than make whatever might be called for in this way. the four volumes of the numerical bible already published will naturally show development in various ways; but there has been no attempt to develop this correspondingly. in the nature of the book it is but an introduction, for which purpose much enlargement would rather injure it than otherwise. may the lord be pleased still to use it for the help of students of the inspired word. f.w.grant. plainfield, n.j. sept. 25th, 1899 the numerical structure of scripture index lecture i introductory . . . . . . . . . . . lecture ii the scripture numerals . . . . . . . . . . . 24 lecture iii the numerals continued . . . . . . . . . 41 lecture iv the bible books: their arrangement and relationship . . 60 lecture v the books of the prophets . . . . . . . . . 86 lecture vi the psalm-books, gospels, and acts . . . . . . . 107 lecture vii the epistles and the revelation . . . . . . . . 133
