We refer here to the date of the division of the earth as determined by Mr. Cuninghame; see the Preface to his “Synopsis of Chronology,” pp. 18–22, and his “Fulness of the Times,” p. 44. In these works, he makes out that the division commenced in A. M. 3081 or B. C. 2398; that it continued during a jubilean period, or forty-nine years; and, of course, that it terminated in A. M. 3130, or B. C. 2349. We confess that we do not see the necessity of allowing so long a period for the division of the earth; and we think it more likely to have been finished than to have been begun at the former date. Footnote 10: This name is marked in this and the two following Tables, on account of its omission in the Hebrew and Samaritan texts. Footnote 11: Usher’s “Chronologia Sacra,” cap. vi. p. 87. Footnote 12: The citations from Dr. Hales’ work are referred to the 4to. edition, Lond. 1800–1812. Footnote 13: Collatio Codicis Cottoniani Gen seos, &c. Lond. 1778, p. xiii. Footnote 14: “Analysis of Chronology,” vol. i. p. 84. Footnote 15: “Chronologia Sacra,” cap. vii. p. 120. Footnote 16: It is remarkable that both Hales and Russell, notwithstanding their acknowledged veneration for the Holy Scriptures, have chosen to follow the testimony of Josephus, in regard to the extent of the first two ages of the world; but “their witness agrees not together;” for the former makes it 3333 years, and the latter 3403 years! Footnote 17: See the Prefaces to the “Synopsis of Chronology;” the “Chronology of Israel;” the “Hebrew and Septuagint Chronologies Tried;” the “Scientific Chronology of the year 1839,” and its Supplement; and the “Season of the End.” Footnote 18: “History of the World,” pp. 228, 277. Footnote 19: The Eulerian ratio here referred to, is that the numbers of mankind are doubled every 12⅘ years. Now, in 90 years, the doubling would occur about 7 times, which would occasion the original number to be increased 128 times; because the 7th power of 2 is 128. Hence, 50,000 multiplied by 128, gives 6,400,000, which is nearly 6½ millions. If the calculation be performed with the greatest mathematical nicety, the result will only be 6,540,256, which is rather more than 6½ millions. Footnote 20:
