tinctness and earnestness, the sentiments and the convictions already expressed.
The Second Part of the volume consists of what, at the time of its composition, many years ago, was intended to form a portion of a general treatise on the internal evidences of the genuineness of the Gospels. This work was never finished.
The Appendix consists of one of the Lectures delivered by the author as Dexter Lecturer in Harvard University. It has been printed here as having a close relation to the subject of the volume.
It may be remarked, that many of the internal proofs of the genuineness of the Gospels are pointed out and illustrated in the Notes accompanying the author's Translation of the Gospels.
The few editorial notes are inclosed in brackets. Whatever is so inclosed is editorial, except where the brackets are used in the course of quotations.
CAMBRIDGE, February, 1855.
