This book is Volume VIII of the School Library, published under the sanction of the Board of Education of the State of Massachusetts. The Sacred Philosophy of the Seasons is a four volume set, the present volume is the second of a series, the object of which is to demonstrate the existence and the attributes of God, in the various phenomena of the revolving year. Each volume contains an argument complete in itself, and peculiar to the season of which it treats, this one being Spring.

Though the sacred writings themselves are the only sources of knowledge on this subject to which we may give implicit credence, yet from early documents we may obtain some narratives of the latter days of the apostles which are worthy of a good degree of faith. Making use of such authorities as are within the reach of the authors, they proceed to give some account of the twelve disciples of our Lord; pursuing the order in which they are arranged by Matthew, only because his catalog is the first which occurs in the common collocation of the gospel histories. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.
