"The text followed is that of the American Revised Version"--Preface
"The parts omitted from the Old Testament are the Levitical Laws, for the most part, the genealogical tables, parts of the prophecies, and other portions which would not be used in general reading or study by most Bible readers. In the New Testament the life of Christ has been given in one complete story. ... the narrative has in each case been chosen from the Gospel which supplies fullest detail, or for some other reason seems best adapted to the purpose"--Preface
