Excerpt from Dissertations Upon the Principles and Arrangement of an Harmony of the Gospels, Vol. 1 of 4 The fourth volume, from the size which it was found to have attained in comparison of the preceding, has been necessarily divided into two parts; the second part beginning with the Twenty-seventh Dissertation of the Appendix, and the numbering of the pages running on, so that it may still be bound up in one volume with the first part, or separately, as the purchasers of it may prefer. Lastly; no pains have been spared to render this second edition as accurate as possible, and as safely to be depended upon as the judgment of the Author was competent to make it. There is no statement in it, from first to last, it may almost be said upon any point, and certainly upon any point of importance, which has not been considered and reconsidered, before it was allowed to stand: there is not a fact alleged, or an authority appealed to, which has not been carefully examined afresh, to satisfy the Author of its truth, or that it would fairly justify the use which had been made of it: there is not a quotation of any kind, which has not been collated with the original; nor a reference, with one or two exceptions, which has not been verified by the Author and Editor of the work himself, as it was passing through the press. Errors or oversights may possibly have escaped him, notwithstanding all this care to guard against them; but he trusts that they are few, and after this explanation, that, even if detected, they will be entitled to indulgence.
