PREFACE. V 



who are interested in the subject will find their 

 curiosity amply repaid by a reference to the va- 

 luable work of Dr. Prichard, and to the various 

 publications which treat of the religions of other 

 nations. They will find some striking analogies 

 in most of them, which appear to connect them 

 in a greater or less degree with each other ; and 

 which, by proclaiming a common origin at a most 

 remote period, tend, like the discoveries in lan- 

 guage and other modern investigations, to point 

 out the important truths of the Mosaical history 

 of the world. 



London, July 1840.
