Description
An excerpt from the Author's Preface:
In bringing together the finer thoughts of Greek and Roman authors, it was impossible not to be struck by their great likeness to what is found in the inspired writings of the Old and New Testament. Here and there in my Greek and Latin volumes, attention was drawn to this parallelism, but it was done ia too cursory a manner to carry out my views as fully as could have been wished. It has been, therefore, thought that it might not be without interest to enter more at length into the subject, and to illustrate the Sacred Writers by placing alongside of them the parallel thoughts which are to be found in profane authors. I am not aware that any complete work of this kind has ever appeared.
