Art . I ; -1—Lectures on Scripture Facts ; by tV . B . Coll yer * Idrge Svo . pp . 593 . 12 s . Williams and Smith . 1807 .
We are enjoined in Scripture to prove all things : even those great events recorded in the books of the Old and New Testament , upon the authority of which the whole evidence of revealed
religion rests , are to be made the subject of investigation , that by examining into the internal marks of credibility which they possess , and corroborating them hy fc-Teign testimonies , we may rest
our faith in them on solid grounds . In order to assist Christians in these important inquiries , learned men have employed their talents , in collecting
from various quarters every thing which might seem to throw light upon the various parts of the scripture narrative . It is the laudable object of the present writer to avail himself of these
learned researches , in order to present them to common readers in a more popular form , than has commonly been done ; to Jnterweavc foreign testimonies to
the truth of the scripture history with the discussion of the "history itself ; and to relieve the dryness of a series of extracts by giving the -whole as much as possible , the shape and ardour of
pulpitaddresses * It is but justice to Mr . C . to say that he has stic « ceeded , by means of a lively animated manner , in giving no incon * siderable degree of interest to these discussions , and that he has
been at much pains in collecting information from various respect * able authors and compilers , who have written on the same subject * As an apology why he , as a young man , should come forward in an
attempt , which might seem to require a depth of erudition seldom found in those of his own age , especially when their attention is a good deal confined to the labours of the pulpit , he , with
equal modesty a , nd propriety , mentions the peculiar nature of the warfare , which is now carried on by the enemies of religion . u young , the , inexperienced ,
the illiterate , have united with the Sage , and the Philosopher , against the claims and obligations of Revelation . Let youth be opposed to youth , age to age , talent to talent- Let it be seen
that some are growing tip , to support the Redeemer ' s "kingdom ^ whilst others finish their course * and are gathered to their fathers / 1 Tho lecture * are fourteen iii
