THE ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF EUSEBIUS PAMPHILUS, BISHOP OF CÆSAREA, IN PALESTINE. TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK, BY THE REV. C. F. CRUSÉ, M.A. WITH NOTES SELECTED FROM THE EDITION OF VALESIUS LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS XC138246 8714309 NOTICE. THE Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius, which succeeds immediately to the Acts of the Apostles, and is for a considerable period the only work of the kind, possesses a value to subsequent ages which belongs to no other uninspired document. As it furnishes the means of comparing modern with primitive times, and of viewing them in contrast with each other, its extensive circulation will, it is believed, tend to increase useful knowledge, promote soundness and unity of faith, advance the cause of the church, and maintain peace and quietness among all Christian people. In the confident opinion, that a general acquaintance with primitive Christianity will effect much for its cause, the present volume has been published in a popular form. |
