Excerpt from A Literal Translation of the Prophets From Isaiah to Malachi: With Notes, Critical, Philological, and Explanatory The substance or matter contained in this book has been commonly divided into two classes; the Historical in the six former Chapters, and the Prophetical in the six latter. Not but that there are visions or predictions in the historical part; yet these were not offered to Daniel, but to other persons, the circumstances of which he has recorded. As I intend to speak more at large on this part, I shall beg leave to invert the order, and offer a few observations first on the Prophetical.
