Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Theological and Miscellaneous Works of Joseph Priestley, Vol. 13 Dr. Priestley, in his Preface, (Vol. XI. p. 8,) mentioned that he had "taken the paraphrases on the discourses of Jesus" from his Harmony of the Gospels, and that he had inserted in the Notes on the Four Evangelists, which form the largest part of this volume, "the few Notes that were subjoined to that work." To these, in the interval of more than twenty years, he had made, as might have been expected from such an unremitting biblical student, very considerable additions. In preparing the present volume for the press, I have felt still more than on former occasions, the duty of occupying as usefully as circumstances would allow, the office which I had ventured to undertake. In this employment, while strictly preserving all that the Author had left for publication, I have been obliged to transpose a large number of the Notes to the Harmony, which were placed, perhaps from mis-arrangement as the MSS. passed through the press, out of that order which was evidently the Author´s design, as appears from his own arrangement of the text of the Evangelists in his English Harmony of 1780. I have also added from that Harmony a variety of Notes, most of which were, probably, omitted by accident. They all appeared to me to be worthy of preservation, as suited to the Author´s purpose of biblical information, and their insertion was indeed necessary to the completion of my plan. I have, however, distinguished them from those of the Northumberland edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
