The edition of the History of the World, as pub lished by Mr. Williain Oldys in 1736, l avinga lways beell considered to be the most correct in text and typography, it was, at first, intended to follow that edition exclusively but upon a comparison of some doubtful readings with the earlier copies, it ap peared that not only Oldys had made several arbi t rary and unnecessary alterations, but that the p i n ter had executed his task with considerable carelessness and inaccuracy in some chaptei-S hav ing left out entire passages, and in others disfigured them by partial omissions or alterations, which either weakened or destroyed the sense .

THE W O R K S OF SIR WALTER RALEGH, KT. NOW FIRST COLLECTED TO WFIICII ARE PREFIXED THE 1 IVES OF THE AUTHOR, DY OLD-YS AND BIRCH. VOL. 111. THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. BOOK II. CHAP. I-XIII. 4.- THE CONTENTS. - BOOK 11. CHAP. I. OF the time of the birth of Abraham and of the use of this question for the ordering of the story of the Assyrian empire. Sect. I. Of some of the sllccessors of Selnirainis vit, h a brief transition to the questio a, bout the tiiue of the birth of Abraham. P. I Sect. 11. A proposal of reasons or argrl nents, that are brought to prove Abraham was born in the year 292 after the flood, and r. ot in the year 352. 3 Sect. 111. The answer to one of the objections proposed, shewing that Abraham made but one journey out of Rfesopotainia into Canaan and it after his fathers death. 4 Sect. IV. The ans r7er to another of the objections proposed, shewing that it was not r nlikely that Terah should beget Abrahan in his 130th year. I I Sect. V. The answer to two more of the objections shewing that we nlay have certainty of Abrahams age from the scripture, though we make not Abrahan the eldest son and that there was great cause, why in the story of Abrahanl his two brethren shoi ldb e respected. T 2 Sect. V1. That the nnining of Abral aln first of the three brethren, Gen. xi. 26. doth not prove that he was the eldest together with divers reasons proving that Abralianl was not the eldest son of Terah. 14 Sect. VII. A conclusion of this dispute, noting the authors on both sides with an admonition that they which shorten the times make all ancient stories the more unprobable. J9 - Sect. VIII. A con putation of the times of the Assyrians, and others, grounded upon the times notedin the story of Abraham. 22 Sect. IX. That Aniraphel, one of the four kings whom Abrahaui a . overthrew, Gen. xiv. rnay probably be thought to have been Ninins the son of hTinus. 24 Sect. X. Of Arioch another of the four kings and that Ellas, whereof he is said to have been king, lies between Coelesyria and Arabia Petrza. 26 Sect. XI. Of Tidal, another of the four kings. 28 - Sect. S I I . Thnt Chedorlnonler, the chief of the four kings, was not of Assyria, but of Iersia and that the Assyrian empire at this ti111e was much impaired. 29 Sect. XIII. That it is not improbable that the four kings had no dominion in the countries named, but that they had elsewhere with their colonies planted themselves, and so retained the narnes of the countries whence they came which if it be so, we need not say that Amraphel was Ninins, nor trouble ourselves with many other difficulties. 32 CHAP. II. Of the kings of Egypt from the first peopling of it after the flood, to the time of the delivery of the Israelites from thence. Sect. I. A brief of the names and times of the first kings of Egypt with a note of the causes of difficulty in resolving of the truth in these points. 36 Sect. 11. rhat by the account of the Egyptian dynasties, and otherwise, it appears that Chains reign in Egypt began in the year after the flood I g I. 3s Sect. 111. That these dynasties were not divers families of kings, but rather successions of regents, ofttimes many under one . king. 40 Sect. IV. Of Chan a, nd his son afizraim, or Osiris. 43 Sect. V. Of the time when Osiriss reign ended and that Jacob came into Egypt ill the time of Orus the son of Osiris. 44 Sect. 171. Of Tppbon, Herc leZsg pptius, Onls, and the two Sesostres, successively reiguing after Misraim and of divers errors about the former Sesostris. 47 Sect. VII. Of Busiris the first oppressor of the Israelites and of his successor, queen Thermutis, that took 11p I O o S ut of S th e water. 51 Sect. VIII...
