THE reader is respectfully requested to consult in his Bible the passages to which reference is made in this work; especially those which, after such reference, are discussed or expounded without being quoted at large. The quotations of latin and other passages, which are improvidently too numerous for correct taste, it may be, have been on review mostly retained, as the chief objection to them is perhaps neutralized by the consideration that they are generally translated, or their meaning is sufficiently indicated by the scope or connection of the argument, which they are designed in some way to sub serve. The notes are embodied at the end of the volume, as more favorable to method and compactness, if not preferable also on the score of utility. Many peculiar or singular expressions, and some repetitions of thought, occur incidentally and unavoidably in a treatise of this special nature-and often with a relative aspect which all readers will not equally discern. The table of contents following, has been arranged to serve also as a general index. |
