Excerpt from Four Centuries of Silence: Or, From Malachi to Christ

HE aim of this volume, it will be understood from the title, is to characterise a period, rather than to set forth a history. The author has no claim to be regarded as having thrown any new light, by independent researches, on questions, some of which are involved in much obscurity. But he has brought together, within a. Limited space, a number of facts, which will serve to confirm the faith of those who accept the authority of Scripture, while they illustrate the wonderful method of Divine Providence, in preparing the way for the higher revelations of Christianity.
