Excerpt from Cyclopaedia of Poetry: Second Series; Embracing Poems Descriptive of the Scenes, Incidents, Persons and Places of the Bible, Also Indexes to Foster's Cyclopaedias A personal word. About twenty years ago a railroad accident disabled the author of these works from regular pastoral service. One Sunday afternoon, while waiting with empty hands, the seed-thought which developed into these four volumes was dropped into his mind. Some years after, a clerical friend wrote I thank God for your injury, for without it, I suppose, we should not have had your eminently helpful books. With thanks to many friends for the kind reception extended to his former volumes, and with the hope that this may add to their usefulness, the present work is respectfully submitted.
