INTRODUCTORY NOTICE. Our young readers are recommended to transfer to their Bibles the information contained in this Manual, so as to be able to answer at Examinations from the Bible, rather than from the Manual. In order to do this: The text of Jeremiah must be carefully studied in the Bible itself, and every word printed in italics in this Manual should be there underlined. The date of each event of importance may be written at the head of each chapter, or given in the margin, so that the order of time may be as easily followed in their own Bibles as in the Manual. Constant reference to the "Order of Events" is strongly recommended, pp. 16-21, as by comparing the arrangement there given with the Sketches of History, and with the Text itself, each reign may be made up with sufficient fulness, and with perfect accuracy. The headings of the Chapters and Paragraph Headings may be used, in the first instance, as keys to the subject matter of the chapter, and afterwards as tests of memory. In order that answers may be given with confidence as to their correctness, a list of books used in compiling this Manual is given, and special reference to authorities, in any case of importance, in the notes themselves. A glance at the Questions for Examination will suffice to satisfy our young friends that whatever help they may get from manuals such as this, there are yet many questions which can be answered only from the text of the Bible itself.
