ADVERTISEMENT.

THIS edition of the EVIDENCES has been enlarged by the addition of one-fourth part of the volume, and contains nearly twice as much matter as was included in the first editions of the work. The parts which have been added to the preceding and to the present edition are the chapter on "the necessity of Divine Revelation;" a new chapter on prophecy, relating to Nineveh, Babylon, and Tyre; the chapters on Inspiration; and the whole of what relates to the Canon of the Old and New Testaments. This last is an abridgment of the volume which the author published on the CANON; of which work two edi tions have been given to the public.
