Strana 282 - ... [(a - b + c) - (d + e + f)] + [g - (h - ¡)] = (- a + b) + (-c + d...
Strana 3 - ... to pass through very few hands, and all these friends and relatives in the most proper sense of the terms : for they lived in an insulated state, under a patriarchal government. Thus it was easy for Moses to be satisfied of the truth of all he relates in the book of Genesis, as the accounts came to him through the medium of very few persons. From Adam to Noah there was but one man necessary to the correct transmission of the history of this period of 1656 years.
Strana 71 - Typographical antiquities ; or, the history of printing in England, Scotland and Ireland. Containing memoirs of our ancient printers, and a register of the books printed by them. Begun by the late Joseph Ames, FR & A. SS. considerably augmented by William Herbert, of Cheshunt, Herts...
Strana 1 - What the First Language was, is almost useless to enquire ; as it is impossible to arrive at any satisfactory information on this point. Some think it must have been the Chinese, because principally composed of monosyllables, forming very simple sounds, which they suppose must have been the grand characteristic of the original language.

Strana 128 - Cologne, 1471, and a perfect resemblance found between them in the manner of printing, not only the page itself, but the number of lines in a page, the length, breadth, and the intervals between the lines alike.
Strana 2 - In the antediluvian world, when the life of man was so protracted, there was, comparatively, little need for writing. Tradition answered every purpose to which writing in any kind of characters could be subservient ; and the necessity of erecting monuments to perpetuate public events could scarcely have suggested itself; as...
Strana 3 - Methuselah, who lived to see them both. In like manner, Shem connected Noah and Abraham, having lived to converse with both ; as Isaac did with Abraham and Joseph, from whom these things might be easily conveyed to Moses by Amram, who was contemporary with Joseph. Supposing then, all the curious facts recorded in the book of Genesis, had no other authority than the tradition already referred to, they would stand upon a foundation of credibility superior to any that the...
