THE "Origines Ecclesiastica" of the learned and industrious BINGHAM, has been long deemed indispensable to every Student anxious to ascertain the construction and platform of the Primitive Christian Church. At the present time, especially, a correct knowledge of the subject he so ably discusses is interesting, not only to the Ministers, but to every Member of the Protestant Church. The following Testimonies, selected from numerous others which could be adduced, will serve to shew the estimation in which he is generally held by all parties : Auguste, in his Introduction to Handbuch der Christlichen Archaologie, p. 11, (Leipzig, 1836) says, after having spoken of some unsatisfactory works, "But the English Clergyman, Joseph Bingham, remarkable for his profound learning, and his spirit of unprejudiced enquiry, was the first who published a complete Archæology, and one worthy of the name. His Origines or Christian Antiquities first appeared in London, 1708-1722, in 10 parts, 8vo. Undoubtedly, the Latin translation by J. H. Grischovius has very much contributed to the general spread of this classical work. While Bingham was still living, a countryman of his own, A. Blackmore, prepared an abridgment under the title of Summary of Christian Antiquities, London, 1722, with which Bingham was much displeased, it being published as an original work. At a later period another abridgment appeared by an anonymous Roman Catholic Theologian, J. Bingham's Christian Antiquities, an Abridgment from the English Edition, Augsburg, 1788.96.' The work also called Lucii Paleotimi Antiquitatum S. Originum Ecclesiasticarum summa. Venet. 1766,' is nothing more than an abridgment of Bingham's work, the usefulness of which for both confessions is strongly indicated by these repeated abridgments of it, as well as by the manifold use of it made in other writings." [TURN OVER. L PROSPECTUS OF REV. J. BINGHAM'S WORKS-continued. Opus ipsum Binghami tam egregium est, ut merito inter libros, quibus Antiquitates Ecclesiasticæ universæ enarrratæ sunt, principatum teneat, sive ad rerum copiam atque apparatum; sive ad earum explanationem animum advertere velimus. Commendat illud se accuratiori ordine, argumentis solidis; sive testimoniis, quæ ex ipsis fontibus hausta ac diligenter adducta sunt, perspicuitate atque aliis virtutibus. Ac quamvis auctor, iis addictus, qui in Anglia pro episcoporum auctoritate pugnant, ad horum sententias veteris ecclesiæ instituta trahat; animi tamen moderationem, quum in his rebus versatur, ostendit ac si quæ corrigenda sunt." WALCHII Bibliotheca Theologica, vol. iii. p. 671. The Quarterly Review, in an article on Christian Burial, says, "This is traced by Bingham with his smal erudition;" and in speaking of psalmody in the early Christian Church, "of this Bingham produces abundant evidence." And again, in an article on the Architecture of Early Christian Churches, "much information on this subject is collected in the 'Origines Ecclesiastica' of Bingham, a writer who does equal honour to the English Clergy and to the English Nation, and whose learning is to be equalled only by his moderation and impartiality." Vols. xxi. xxvii. xxxviii. "Let Bingham be consulted where he treats of such matters as you meet with, that have any difficulty in them." DR. WATERLAND'S Advice to a Young Student. "This is an invaluable Treasure of Christian Antiquities, and deserves the first place in works of this kind: the plan and the execution do equal honour to the learning and industry of the Author."-ORME Bibliotheca Biblica. "A vast body of information respecting the first Christian Churches, and full of valuable learning on the Early State of the Church."-BICKERSTETH. "For the elucidation of the Antiquities of the Church, we cannot refer to a higher authority than that of Bingham. Joseph Bingham was born at Wakefield, in Yorkshire, September 1668, and graduated at University College, Oxford, 1683. He was presented by Dr. Radcliffe to the Rectory of Headbourne, Worthing, near Winchester; and there, having the use of the Cathedral Library, he commenced his celebrated work' Origines Ecclesiasticæ, or the Antiquities of the Christian Church.""-VoICE OF THE CHURCH. It is also recommended to be studied by Bishops Tomline, Randolph, and Coleridge; by Dr. Burton, and in the Tracts for the Times publishing at Oxford. To those unacquainted with the value of the work, it may be useful to give an analysis of the Twenty-three Books, of which the "Antiquities" is composed : I. Of Christianity in general; the Names and Orders II. The Laws of the First Councils. IV. Of the Election and Ordination of the Clergy; V. Clerical Privileges, Immunities, and Revenues. VII. Of the Ascetics. VIII. Of their Councils, Churches, &c. IX. Of the Divisions into Provinces, Dioceses, and X. Of the Catechisms, and first use of Creeds. XI. On the Administration of Baptism. XII. On Confirmation. XIII. Of Divine Worship in the Ancient Congregations. XV. Of the Communion Service. XVI. Of the Unity and Discipline of the Church. XIX. Of Absolution. XX. On the Festivals. XXII. On the Marriage Rites. With Four Dissertations. In the first three, those things only briefly described in his "Antiquities" are more fully explained. In the fourth, he defends the English Homilies, Liturgy, and Canons, from domestic adversaries, particularly the French Reformers. To this Edition will be subjoined, at the foot of each page, in full, the Greek and Latin Authorities to which Bingham appeals, in lieu of merely the References as given in former Editions. This valuable addition will save much time to those Scholars who possess the very numerous Works referred to, and much expense and trouble to those who have not access to extensive Libraries. CONDITIONS. The work will be comprised in Nine handsome Volumes, Octavo, containing about 600 pages each. The Sixth Volume will be published in May next, after which THE PRICE WILL BE RAISED TO 12s. TO NON- The remaining Volumes will be published each alternate Month, and the whole Work will be completed in the course of the present year.
