CHRONOLOGICAL ANTIQUITIES: or, the antiqui ties and chronology of the most antient kingdoms, from the creation of the world, for the space of five thousand years. By John Jackson, rector of Rolfington in the county of York, &c. il. 16 s. few'd. Noon. HE design of the work now before us is, to restore the original Hebrew chronology of the Old Testa ment, both before and after the flood; to remove all the difficulties of the scripture-chronology; to shew the agreement of the Chaldæan, Egyptian, Phænician, and Chinese antiquities with each other, and with the history and chronology of scripture ; to consider the origin and chronology of the Greeks, Romans, and Americans; to explain the origin and antiquity of letters, bieroglyphics, obelisks, pyramids, oracles, mysteries, and the whole Pagan theology ; to examine and amend the principal errors of the most learned chronologers both antient and modern; and to reduce all the ancient chronology to one entire, confiftent, and harmonious system. Such is the design of the work; a design of prodigious extent: as to the manner in which it is executed, our readers will, in fome measure, be able to judge from the view of it which we shall lay before them: we shall only say, that the author has shewn a vast compass of reading, an extensive knowledge of antiquity, and uncommon learning. Those who are conversant with such subjects as our learned author treats of, will not expect to see them cleared of every diffiVol. VII, B culty, culty, since it is imposible to reduce chronology to absolute certainty; and many there are, no doubt, who despair of ever seeing facred and profane chronology reconciled: but notwithftanding this, every candid and judicious reader, every friend to truth and learning will, we are perswaded, think' himself under obligations to dr. Jackson for the time and labour he has employed in endeavouring to fix a point of such importance as that of the scripture-chronology with all the certainty it is capable of, and for the light he has thrown on several capital points of ancient chronology. In treating of the chronological antiquities of the Hebrews, with which he introduces his work, our learned author confiders the scripture-chronology from the creation of the world to the destruction of the city and temple of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. As the foundation on which the whole of his performance is built, he endeavours to make it appear, that the chronology of scripture, as it now stands in the Maforete, or present Hebrew copies, cannot be the true fcripture-chronology, or the original chronology of the Hebrero text; and that the true Mofaic chronology is preserved in the Septuagint Greek version made by learned Jews, in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus king of Egypt, and by his authority, from an Hebrew copy, which was three times older than any copies now known to be extant. He tells us, that the present Hebrew computations are no older than the second century of the christian æra ; that they were never known before to the Jews, or to any Greek writers of the fewisho history; that the Septuagint version was received and read by public authority in the Jewish synagogues every where, as being a faithful uncorrupt translation, and that its chronology has been preserved uncorrupted, and is the same with that of the Hebrew' copy from whence it was originally taken ; so that he thinks no doubt can remain of its being the true Hebrew chronology of Mofes. As what relates to the chronology of the Hebrews, will, we make no doubt, be considered as of principal importance in this work, we shall present our readers with a pretty full view of what the doctor has advanced upon it; and content ourselves with giving a short account of the other subjects of which he has treated, as not being of equal moment. After making several observations on the Mofaic history of the creation, he gives us a table exhibiting the numbers of the years from the creation to the flood, as they are found in the Hebrew and Samaritan texts, in the Septuagint version, and in the third chapter of the first book of the Jewish antiquities of |
