NOTE. The following outlines of Ancient Classical and Scripture Geography, are designed to be used in connection with the Ancient and Scripture Atlas, which accompanies the work. The four larger maps in the Atlas relate to Classical and the six smaller ones to Scripture Geography. Some knowledge of Ancient Geography is necessary to every one who would read ancient history with advantage; and the following outlines have been prepared with an especial design of facilitating the study of history. Those places which have an historical importance or celebrity are noticed, and the circumstances by which they have been rendered memorable are briefly mentioned. Scripture Geography is, in a great measure, treated of in a chronological manner. This method seems the most natural; and it is also the most useful in illustrat ng and facilitating the study of Sacred History. |
