Many illustrations in this set are dated. Yet I find the writings within these books to be worth looking at. I have only looked at a few passages. Yet they hit the mark on what the Bible says and gives some illustrations to amplify what is written. Yes Published 1900. Can we not gain insight from writers of the past? It does provide some very interesting Historical iinformaion. Bible to be consistently read.—You, women of England, are all now shrieking with one voice—you and your clergymen together—because you hear of your Bibles being attacked. If you choose to obey your Bibles, you will never care who attacks them. It is just because you never fulfil a single downright precept of the Book that you are so careful for its credit; and just because you don’t care to obey its whole words, that you are so particular about the letters of them. The Bible tells you to dress plainly,—and you are mad for finery; the Bible tells you to have pity on the poor,—and you crush them under your carriage-wheels; the Bible tells you to do judgment and justice,—and you do not know, nor care to know, so much as what the Bible word “justice” means. Do but learn so much of God’s truth as that comes to; know what He means when He tells you to be just, and teach your sons that their bravery is but a fool’s boast, and their deeds but a firebrand’s tossing, unless they are indeed “just men, and perfect in the fear of God;” and you will soon hear no more war, unless it be indeed such as is willed by Him, of whom, though Prince of Peace, it is also written, “In righteousness He doth judge, and make war.”—Ruskin Gray, James Comper. Biblical Encyclopedia and Museum. The S. S. Scranton Co., 1900, p. 317.

Concise. Presentation of good unusual facts. Great quotes! Here is information power for the person who must deliver to others. In my opinion, one of the best.

Will this resource be released as Versified volumes? (That is, will they be indexed with the "BIBLE" data type? If so, I will consider purchasing this. Otherwise, I don't think it's really worth publishing these older works really. We need to be able to gain access to the notes in an easy manner). THANKS!
