Volume 2

Time has proved that the anticipations of the Author of Eureka in regard to the return of Christ were premature. And this reveals that with all its value Chronikon Hebraikon fails to provide a satisfactory chronology of the Scriptures in relation to the time periods of the future. Those time periods seem to introduce consecutive epochs of time, rather than specific datings.

It is with no little satisfaction that the author is at length enabled to place this volume of his Exposition of the Apocalypse in the hands of its subscribers. To subscribers and authors in general, the issuing of books by subscription must always be a work of anxiety; especially where, as in the instance of Eureka, the subscribers thereto have made its author the depository of nearly two thousand dollars in advance of the performance of what he had proposed in his prospectus.
