Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Old and New Testament: Interspersed With Moral and Instructive Reflections, Chiefly Taken From the Holy Fathers
The reader will undoubtedly observe, that many facts are related from those books, Which, in the English Bible, are not styled canonical, though counted holy. How or by what authority some books of the Sacred Writings have been received into the Protestant Canon, and others left out, is not the present subject of inquiry. Let it suffice to say, that this abridgment was compiled in France, where all those books of Scripture are held to be canoni cal, as they are cited in the forty-seventh canon of the third Council of Carthage, A. D. 397.
