ATHENS GAZETTE. TnuRSDAr , |/ir 5, 1814. IC7* We this day commence the. publication of extracts f«*om.a late celebrated wqrk» entitled V. An Es say on the Divine Authority of the New Testament, by the Rev., David ‘’Bogue*” Mr. Bogue is an active, and useful member of the London Missionary Society. Besides other public duties, he has been, ; for. years past, successfully employed in edu% eating, and preparing young m.e>) for distant missionary anioiig the pagans in Asia and eLewhere*. • I he Society resolved, some years since, to print a large edition of the New Testament for the use of the people of France, and requested Mr. Bogiie to prepare an essay on the Divine authority of the New Testa ment to accompany this edition—r This was thought advisable on,ac- . count of the wide spread of infidelity in that country. * The task was un dertaken by Mr Bogue, and execu ted in a manner which for justness of method, perspicuity of style, and \ strength of leasoning, and for all • those qualities, which deservedly j render a work generally popular and generally useful, has perhaps never been exceeded, on that subject, ill the English, or any other language. We design to publish considera- j bly lengthy extracts from this work, • for some time ; and we doubt, not but our readers will tiqd both plea sure and profit in the perusal of them.
