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.

"We have read a good deal, and have tried and tested the author's accuracy in various points, and, from the success with which he comes forth from the trial, we are satisfied that where we have not examined he is trustworthy."---SCOTTISH GUARDIAN. "We earnestly recommend it to the notice of all Students of Church History." EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE.
