Book Description

Excerpt from Blair's Chronological and Historical Tables, From the Creation to the Present Time: With Additions and Corrections From the Most Authentic Writers, Including the Computation of St. Paul, as Connected the Period From the Exode to the Temple The 'present Volume has been te-constructed from the folio Edition by a literary friend, who is disinclined at a late period of life, to appear publicly as the Editor of a critical Work. The thorough revision of the Manuscript, and its transit through the press, having been intrusted to myself, will justify my signature to the Preface, and may be taken to express my perfect confidence of its general accuracy and character. It ought not, however, to be forgotten, that the labour of carrying out the Tables (a task far more complicated than might be inferred from their symmetrical appearance), is to be ascribed entirely to my friend, to whom properly belongs the credit of having revived and enlarged a very valuable Work.
