Excerpt from An Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, Vol. 1 The Author of the present work cannot offer a new edition to the Public, without expressing the grateful sense he entertains, of the very favourable manner in which his volumes have been received. In addition to the extensive circulation, which his work has obtained in the Universities and other Theological Seminaries in England, he has the satisfaction of knowing that it has recently been adopted as a text book in the College at Princeton, New Jersey, in North America. Thus encouraged, the Author has sedulously availed himself of the various hints which have been liberally communicated to him, for altering and improving the arrangement of the former impression, and also for sup plying its deficiencies. By enlarging the pages, as well as employing a small, but clear and distinct, type in several parts of the work, he has been enabled to intro duce a large mass of new and important matter.
