and J. Bruce, Printers, to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, in 1816.
Yellow, now, with age, and flexible, but not unclean, with much use,
except that the lower corners of the pages at 8th of 1st Kings, and 32d
Deuteronomy, are worn somewhat thin and dark, the learning of these two
chapters having cost me much pains. My mother's list of the chapters
with which, thus learned, she established my soul in life, has just
fallen out of it. I will take what indulgence the incurious reader can
give me, for printing the list thus accidentally occurrent:
Exodus, chapters 15th and 20th.
2 Samuel, " 1st, from 17th verse to end.
1 Kings, " 8th.
Psalms, " 23d, 32d, 90th, 91st, 103d, 112th, 119th, 139th.
Proverbs, " 2d, 3d, 8th, 12th.
