A dissertation on the true age of the world : $b in which is determined the chronology of the period from creation to the Christian era

virtually the same as that of the Old, they will turn with their whole
heart to seek “the angel of Jehovah’s presence, who saved them;” who,
“in his love and pity redeemed them;” and, who “bare them and carried
them all the days of old.”
2. Mr. Cuninghame’s discovery of seven streams of time, of seventy
jubilees each, in the true system of chronology—This test wholly
inapplicable to any other system—His discovery of five streams of
time of different jubilean periods—Utility of his “Fulness of the
Times,” where these discoveries are developed—Notice of his more
recent works.
Mr. Cuninghame proves that the periods of all the great eras in the
history of the Israelites and Jews, are measured by great jubilean and
astronomical cycles. In his “Fulness of the Times,” he demonstrates
the existence of _seven_ streams of jubilean time from the era of the
Exodus and establishment in Canaan, each containing a period of
seventy jubilees, in the true system of chronology; and that these
seven streams are marked at their beginning and end, and at several
intermediate points, by great eras in history. He shows also that all
other schemes of chronology, particularly those of Usher, Hales, and
the Jewish Rabbis, cannot stand this test of accuracy and perfection,
and consequently, none of them can be the true system. To these great
streams of jubilean time, he adds other five streams, consisting of
different periods of jubilees, which he has discovered in the true
system, all marked, in like manner, by remarkable historical events.
In the course of his laborious investigations, in order to establish
these general streams of cyclical time, he touches on many interesting
and disputed facts both in sacred and profane history, which renders
the work a complete storehouse of information on chronological
questions; while the Supplements, Prefaces, Dissertations, and
Appendixes, to which we had such frequent occasion to refer, partake
so much of the same general character, as to make it a work of
universal reference. In the general preface to the second edition, the
author announced some new discoveries in regard to the cyclical
character of the mundane times. These he has more fully developed and
applied with the most extraordinary industry and ingenuity, in the
following recent works:—“The Scientific Chronology of the year 1839;”
“A Supplement to” the preceding work, “comprising the Arithmetical
Solution, and Chronological Application of the Number 666;” “The
Season of the End;” “A Chart of Sacred Chronology,” with an “Essay to
accompany” it; “A Dissertation on the Apocalypse,” with “A Supplement
in two Parts:—I. On the Scientific Chronology, as a Test of
Apocalyptical Interpretation;—II. On the Scientific character of the
Great Numbers of Daniel;” also “A Discourse on the Scientific Measures
of the Mundane Times, and the Reasons for the Greek Chronology;” and,
