Synopsis
Excerpt from Hor Sabbatica Or an Attempt to Correct Certain Superstitious and Vulgar Errors Respecting the Sabbath
In 1836 appeared Mr Higgins's second work sur passing the former both in extent and learning anacalypsis, an attempt to draw aside the veil of the Saitic Isis; or, an inquiry into the origin of Ian guages, nations, and religions, 2 vols 4to, London - As two hundred copies only of this laborious and bulky work were printed, it is already become rare, and, in all human probability, never will be re printed. As the preface to the work furnishes some curious information concerning the life and studies of the author, and is altogether a singular and amusing composition, we have thought light to insert it as a supplement to the preface of the present volume.
