Synopsis

Excerpt from A New and Complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures: On the Basis of Cruden's

As respects the plan followed, abbreviations have been made, not only by the erasure, as already stated, of superfluous references, but also by omitting explanations of words, as being more appropriate to a dictionary than a concordance - by contracting quotations, while careful not to obscure them-and by excluding wholly the Concordance to the Apocrypha.

As I suggested the work at first, and held deliberations with the publishers about the nature and advantages of it, they solicited me to write these introductory observations, though I had no participation in the subsequent labours. The first part was executed by a relative of my own, and also occasional portions afterwards, amounting in all to about one fifth of the whole. The rest is the performance exclusively of my esteemed friend, the Rev. J ohh Eadie, of cambridge-street Secession Church, Glasgow. In such a production, it may be easy to find faults or to propose amendments but from the care which has been bestowed upon the undertaking, the strongest hopes are entertained that it will give general satisfaction, and as an humble help to the knowledge of God's word, conduce to the freedom of its course, that it may be glorified. It may be specially serviceable to ministers, preachers, and students, in travelling, when they cannot conveniently carry a larger concordance with them-to private families, who have too much regarded such an auxiliary to biblical attainment as a concomitant of some official station - to the teachers, and even the pupils of Sabbath schools, by enabling them to compare scripture with itself, and adduce readily the passages by which its doctrines may be proved. And may he who alone can communicate saving efficacy to any means of doing good, command on this instrumentality the blessing from on high, that ignorance may be dispelled, enmity sub dued, and his own word grow mightily and prevail.
