THE high rank in the Theological World, which DR. SHUCKFORD'S "SACRED AND PROFANE HISTORY CONNECTED" has hitherto sustained, has again rendered its republication necessary. In laying the FIFTH EDITION of this Work before the Public, it may not, perhaps, be improper to specify some of its advantages.

When last published, in 1808, the labours of the learned Editor appeared to great disadvantage from the hurried and incorrect manner in which the Work passed through the Press. The faulty passages have been, in this Edition, corrected; the Scriptural and other authorities, and, in most instances, the

quotations, have been compared: indeed, the
greatest care has been taken to avoid inaccu-
racies of every kind.

Anxious to render the present Edition
of DR. SHUCKFORD'S CONNECTION as con-
venient and useful as possible, the Publisher has
added a very copious and much enlarged Index,
which will add greatly to the facility of
reference. In short, notwithstanding the low
price affixed to these Volumes, no effort has
been spared to render them in every respect
worthy of so learned and masterly a per-
formance.
