OF THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, IN ILLUSTRATION OF THE MOSAIC RECORD. BY THE REV. CHARLES JAMES BURTON, M.A. VICAR OF LYDD, KENT; AND LATE MICHEL FELLOW OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD. LONDON: PRINTED FOR J. G. & F. RIVINGTON, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH YARD, AND WATERLOO PLACE, PALL MALL. ΤΟ THE HONOURABLE AND RIGHT REVEREND HUGH PERCY, D.D. LORD BISHOP OF CARLISLE. MY LORD, WHEN I solicited the honour of your Lordship's protection of the following pages, it was not with the mere design of seeking for them a Patron of eminence, and so, under sanction of your name, of procuring them an introduction which they might not otherwise have had. I was actuated by motive of different kind. The friendship with which I have during many years been honoured by your Lordship, had its rise in the patronage condescended to me by one nearly allied to yourself; one, whom no man better knew, more appreciated, or has more lamented. |
