Excerpt from The Treasury of Bible Knowledge: Being a Dictionary of the Books, Persons, Places, Events, and Other Matters of Which Mention Is Made in Holy Scripture; Intended to Establish Its Authority and Illustrate Its Contents The arrangement of this volume is alphabetical. Every name, I believe, in the Bible and the Apocrypha finds a place in it. But a distinction is made between inspired and uninspired books by printing names from the former in Roman. From the latter in Italic capitals. Scripture names, too, precede those from the Apocrypha; and the two are never combined in a single article. Names of persons precede identical names of places.
