THE CONTINUOUS HISTORY OF THE LABOURS AND
WRITINGS OF ST. PAUL,
On the basis of THE ACTS, with Intercalary Matter of Sacred Narra-
tive, supplied from THE EPISTLES, and elucidated in occasional
Dissertations; with the "Hora Paulinæ" of Dr. Paley in a more
correct edition subjoined. By the Rev. JAMES TATE, M.A., Canon
Residentiary of St. Paul's. 1 vol. 8vo. with Map, 13s. cloth lettered.
"Mr. Tate takes the Hora Paulinæ as the basis of his work, and attempts to trace
the History of St. Paul from his conversion to his death; to follow him in his apostolic
progresses; and to complete, from detached passages in the Epistles, that narrative of
St. Paul's labours which, unhappily, is left unfinished in the beautiful history of St.
Luke. The whole forms a clear and connected history."
BRITANNIA.
"Our limits permit us merely to mention the contents of a volume which has cost
the author years of patient and painstaking investigation, and will, we are persuaded,
be appreciated by the Christian public, not merely as supplying an acknowledged
defect in the inestimable production of Dr. Paley, of which it is every way worthy, but
as affording, on its own independent merits, a very useful and valuable contribution
to our biblical literature."
SCOTTISH GUARDIAN.
