Book Description

Excerpt from Commentaries on the Affairs of the Christians Before the Time of Constantine the Great, Vol. 2: Or, an Enlarged View of the Ecclesiastical History of the First Three Centuries; Accompanied With Copious Illustrative Notes and References I am rejoiced at your intention of favouring us with a publication of your tranflation of Molheim's Commentaries. The original work is quite familiar to me. Some years ago I read the whole of it atten tively, and committed to paper the obfervations which occurred to me in the perufal of it. I have fince very frequently confulted it. There can be no doubt of its being a work of profound and extenlivc erudition, and that it contains much learning'both in refpee't to faei. And deduction which is no where elfe to be met with. It alfo abounds with hiltorical and literary anecdote In every fenfe it is a dil'tine't work from the Eccle fiaf'tical Hiltory; fo that it may be deemed as necefl'ary to the polfeltors of that work, as if that work had never been written. - I think your ftyle very clear, and well fuited to the work; and have no doubt but that your tranflation of the Commentaries will be quite as popular as Maclaine's of the General Hiltory.
