Synopsis "History and Religon of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Greeks and Romans"

In this part of the work, as well as in the preceding it has been the author's unvarying aim to exhibit an intelligible view of the history and religion of these ancient monarchies. From the size of the book, the historical part can hardly be expected to extend beyond a mere sketch of each of the great empires. Yet, even in this limited compass, scarcely a single difficulty or an important event has escaped notice and elucidation. Especial attention has been given to chronology; and this, which has been aptly termed ?the soul of history?, has, in respect of the early portion of the annals of every nation, been very carefully investigated, and, it is hoped, accurately ascertained. But the ruling element of this volume, and, in fact, of the whole work, is its religious character. The maintenance of this throughout the series of researches comprised in the ?Gentile Nations?, has been a labour attended with very great difficulty. To pass beyond the ritualism and ceremonial externalism everywhere prevalent, to penetrate into the nature and genius of the various forms which idolatry assumed, and to form a sound judgment respecting the religious doctrines, practices, and morals of Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, of Persia, Greece, and Rome, has been a most arduous task.But it has been honestly and earnestly attempted; and the result is now submitted to the candid consideration of the Christian public.
