COMPANION TO ANCIENT HISTORY.

JARVIS'S CHRONOLOGY.

A CHRONOLOGICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH,

being a new Inquiry into the true Dates of the Birth and Death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and containing an original Harmony of the Four Gospels, now first arranged in the Order of Time. By the Rev. SAMUEL FARMAR JARVIS, D.D., LL.D.

In pursuing his task of verifying the dates of the Gospel History, Dr. Jarvis has found it necessary to enter into an explanation at large of Ancient Chronology, and to establish a Harmony of the various modes of computation adopted by the ancients. The results of his inquiries on this point, which occupy more than one half of the volume, give his work great value as an aid in the study of Ancient History generally, as well as an Introduction to Christian Chronology in particular.

The work is divided into two parts: I. Appertaining to Ancient History in general. This portion treats of Grecian modes of computing time, and the Olympiads (containing a full list of these, and an application of modern chronology thereto); ascertains the true year in which Rome was fourded; presents the various changes in the calculation of the Roman Year, including a Table of the reformed Calendar of Julius Cæsar; discusses the Julian period, the Era of Augustus, Egyptian Era, that of Nabonassar, and the Years of Philip, and gives copious Tables of these; includes a complete list of the Succession of Consuls, and connects each Consulship with the proper Year; sketches the History of Augustus Cæsar; demonstrates the date of the third closing of the Temple of Janus; considers chronologically, but briefly, the Association of Tiberius with Augustus and his sole reign, and events occurring from his death to the time when Censorinus wrote, through the reigns of Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus, Domitian, Nerva, Trajan, Adrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, Pertinax, Julianus, Septimius Severus, Caracalla, Macrinus, Heliogabalus, Alexander Severus, and the two Maximins. The author thus prepares the way for Part II., appertaining to the personal History of our Lord Jesus Christ. This portion treats of the reign of Herod the Great, Pilate's Administration, Testimony of the Latin Church as to the Date of our Saviour's Death, and that of the Greek Church, Phlegon the Trallian, true Date of the Passion of our Lord, Duration of his Ministry (with Tables harmonizing the computations), his Age at the Time of his Baptism, and the Day of his Nativity, and closes with a new Harmony of the Gospels, and a Synoptical Table, giving a condensed View of the Results of the Author's Inquiries. This Analysis of the scope and contents of the work is sufficient to show its character, and the valuable nature of its contents.

BOOK FOR LAWYERS, MAGISTRATES, PHYSICIANS, &c.

DR. GUY'S

FORENSIC MEDICINE..

EDITED BY DR. CHARLES A. LEE.

This is a comprehensive epitome of all that is known in Medical Jurisprudence, imbodying within a convenient compass all its important facts and principles, illustrated by a sufficient number of cases, but not to such an extent as to overburden its pages with unnecessary detail. It is particularly fitted as a text-book for students, as well as a manual for the practitioner of medicine and law. Concise in its statements, simple in its arrangement, and sufficiently ample in illustration, it presents claims to the patronage of both professions, not inferior to those of any similar work of equal size hitherto published. The Editor has materially augmented the value of the work, by revising the text, correcting errors, and adapting it to the existing laws and institutions of this country. Among the subjects treated are-Medical Evidence, Personal Identity, Rape, Pregnancy, Abortion, Infanticide, Legitimacy, Life Assurance, Feigned Diseases, Unsoundness of Mind, Persons found Dead, Wounds, Death from various Causes, Metallic, Vegetable, Animal, and Gaseous Poisons, &c.

COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO, BOUND IN SHEEP.

PRICE THREE DOLLARS.
