Overview

Excerpt from The Church of the Redeemed, or the History of the Mediatorial Kingdom, Vol. 1: Containing the First Five Periods; From the Fall of Adam, in Paradise, to the Rejection of the Jews and the Calling of the Gentiles HE present volume is of a very different character from that which preceded it. The Chronological Introduc tion to the History of the Church, as its title imports, Was a digest of evidence, in the form of an inquiry; into which history was admitted only to relieve the labour, and enliven the dryness, of an intellectual summary. The present volume is history. The perusal of it will require no great labour of thought, or closeness of attention; none, at least, which is not, at the same time, pleasurable. The former, as the foun dation on which the whole building Was to rest, required depth and solidity, but admitted little that was ornamental. The present, is the commencement of the superstructure, in which good taste requires that elegance should be combined with durability and compactness. The foundation will be viewed with most interest by the learned and the scientific while the generality of readers will form their estimate of its solidity less from actual examination, and more from perceiving no flaw or weakness in the building which rests upon it.
