Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Synopsis of the Doctrine of Baptism, Regeneration, Conversion, &C. And Kindred Subjects: By the Fathers and Other Writers From the Time of Our Saviour to the End of the Fourth Century
We may speak somewhat confidently on the general accu racy of the quotations, as no pains have been spared to verify them. The whole work has undergone the able revision of an eminent scholar, Dr Giles of Bampton, and the extracts have been compared, when in type, by another distinguished scholar in London, with the originals at the British Museum, or in Dar hugs Divinity Library. Thus care has been taken to preserve the author's own words, except where introductory or connect ing matter has been abridged, in order that the reader might the more readily arrive at the point to which the author was tending. In some very'fcw instances, where the works have become scarce since the extracts were taken, this comparison has not been made, but we have no reason to doubt their accu racy. The work is further indebted to Dr Giles for many of the translations, where no name is given, and his hi gh reputa tion as a scholar, is a guarantee for their accuracy.
