Notes

Chap. 8 is devoted to "A Brief Survey of the Career of the Hebrew Nation as a principal Instrument in the Divine Plan for preparing the World for the Advent of Christ, and as specially commissioned to apply a partial remedy to the evils resulting from the Confusion of Languages." Subsequent chapters reinforce the theme of the Gentile debt to the Hebrews through Imperial Rome’s contact with Jewish monotheism. Half-title: The Philosophy of Ancient History.
