Transcriber's Note:
A compact guide to the whole of Scripture, this work turns every chapter of the Old and New Testaments into a brief, memorable verse. Arranged alphabetically, it lets young readers glance at the essence of each passage without wading through dense prose, making the Bible feel more approachable and easier to recall.
The clever design breaks longer books into four‑line stanzas, each line standing for a chapter and marked by a successive letter—A for the first, B for the fifth, C for the ninth, and so on. Alongside these poetic snapshots, the book lists the number of chapters in every biblical book, offering a clear map for anyone who wishes to learn the order and length of the canon. This structure turns study into a game of letters and numbers, helping memory to lock in quickly.
Printed in the early nineteenth century, the text preserves its original spellings and punctuation, giving listeners a taste of historic Bible scholarship while still serving as a friendly, educational tool for today’s curious minds.
