The following Table exhibits the errors of the chronographers in regard to the _Sixth age_ of the world. In our _first Part_, we have denominated the _Eras_ of this age _Hierarchal_, Table XIV. p. 80, to indicate the internal form of Government which prevailed among the Jews during the period from their return to their own land to the Advent of the Messiah; here we style them _Ethnocratic_, to indicate the _Iron rule_ which the _Heathen Kings_ exercised over the remnant of the ancient people of God, till “_in the days of these kings_ the God of Heaven set up a kingdom which should never be destroyed,” but “should break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and _stand for ever_.” In this table, we have introduced an additional column, showing the periods of the _Four Great Monarchies_ or _Empires_ foretold in the book of Daniel, in as far as they relate to the _Sixth age_, according to the Canon of Ptolemy, which is accounted by chronologers as one of the most valuable and precious relics of Antiquity.
