Excerpt from The Numerical Bible, Vol. 3: Being a Revised Translation of the Holy Scriptures With Expository Notes; Arranged, Divided, and Briefly Characterized According to the Principles of Their Numerical Structure; The Psalms
For the help of some who may be more disposed to receive it in this way, I have printed The witness of arithmetic to Christ, as a first appendix, in the lecture-form in which it was first given. The symbol ism of numbers - more fully worked out than hitherto - will be found in the second. The third applies it more systematically than I have attempted to do before, to the literal meaning of the first chapter of Genesis. The fourth may need more apology for its introduction here, while I am convinced of its very great importance for Christians every where: it is a plea for the study of the whole revelation of God, in cluding in this not only the many sadly unfamiliar parts of Scripture itself, but of Nature also, a book which God Himself has published in every language. A short summary of the Messianic psalms is the last appendix.
The references are, as in the other volumes, by Mr. Samuel ridout.
May He without whom nothing has any power or value, be with this attempt to set forth the meaning of His precious Word.

F. W. Grant was born in the Putney district of London, on 25th July, 1834. His conversion was occasioned by the reading of the Scriptures himself, and not through the instrumentality of others. He was educated at King�s College School with the expectation of securing a position in the War Office. The necessary influence for this failing, he went to Canada when he was twenty-one years of age.
At the time he came to Canada the Church of England was opening parishes in the new parts of the country, and he was examined and ordained to the ministry without having taken the regular college course. He left the 'systems' on receiving light through the reading of the literature published by so-called 'brethren', and lived for a time in Toronto, afterwards coming to the United States, where he lived in the city of Brooklyn, and then in Plainfield, N.J., till his death. He was the leader in what is known as 'the Grant party' in America.
