The EXPECTATIONS FORMED BY THE ASSYRIANS, THAT A GREAT DELIVERER WOULD APPEAR, ABOUT THE TIME OF OUR LORD’S ADVENT, DEMONSTRATED. By the Rev. Dr. NOLAN. 8vo. price 10_s._ boards.

Though the volume which is now submitted to the Public contains a subject independent and perfect in itself, the ultimate object of the Author requires it to be stated that, in it, the foundation is laid of a work of considerable extent. Should the final purpose be accomplished, which the present Volume contributes but partially to establish, and the plan of the Author receive a perfect developement, he is sanguine enough to hope that his Work will not be found undeserving of the title under which he purposes the detached parts of it should be combined:--“THE DIVINE VOCATION OF ABRAHAM _demonstrated, from the Expectation, formed by all Nations, that a_ GREAT DELIVERER _would appear about the time of_ OUR LORD’S _Advent_.”

As an explanation of the views and objects of the Author, the sources of his information, and the modes of his investigation, cannot be effected without entering fully into details, he is obliged to defer the undertaking to the appearance of a Preliminary Dissertation, by which he purposes his Work shall be preceded. Of the feasibility of his plan, a perfect estimate may be formed from the experiment which is made in the Volume now submitted to the Public; the remote antiquity of the period to which his researches were confined, and the paucity of the materials which are supplied by history or tradition, having thrown obstacles in the way of inquiry which must proportionably disappear as the subject is deduced from times more recent and more perfectly known.

It is necessary to add, that the subject of THE DIVINE VOCATION OF ABRAHAM has been treated, in a general and succinct form, in the Course of LECTURES, delivered by the Author, on the foundation of the Hon. Robert Boyle. In one of those discourses, the argument, deduced from prophecy, in the Volume now submitted to the Public, was originally produced. Since that time, the Author having noted down, in the course of his reading, which has been various and extensive, whatever appeared to bear upon his subject; the leisure and retirement which he has long enjoyed have enabled him to work it up in its present form, in which the formality of the discourse is abandoned for a more free mode of discussion.
