Page 10 - LORD'S, and the ful1 ness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD ? or who shall stand in his holy place ? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his эо soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Page 69 - In the northern states of America, where the means of subsistence have been more ample, the manners of the people more pure, and the checks to early marriages fewer than in any of the modern states of Europe, the population has been found to double itself, for above a century and a half successively, in less than twenty-five years.
Page 5 - Those who have compared most of the European translations with the original, have not scrupled to say, that the English translation of the Bible, made under the direction of king James the First, is the most accurate and faithful of the whole. Nor," adds Dr. C., " is this its only praise : the translators have seized the very spirit and soul of the original, and expressed this almost every where with pathos and energy.
