Excerpt from Pulpit Studies: Or Aids to Preaching and Meditation If to mark the origin of nations, the rise and fall of empires, the events which agitate states and overthrow kingdoms, be a pleasant study, must it not yield equal gratification to mark the commencement of time, and to trace all the families of the earth back to their first progenitor, since his life is so intimately connected with the state of the world around us, with our intellectual, moral, and social nature, our eternal destiny, and more especially with that plan of redemption on which all our hopes are founded ? His life is full of interest, in comparison of which the achievements of the most illustrious persons, and the events of the most remarkable epochs in history, dwindle into insignificance. Let us, then, consider, I. His Creation; II. His Glory; III. His Fall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
