A DESCRIPTION OF THE MARTYRDOM OF THOSE WHO By EUSEBIUS, SURNAMED PAMPHILUS, BISHOP OF CESAREA. TRANSLATED BY THE REV. C. F. CRUSÈ, M.A., OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. ·ANFORD LIBRARY LONDON: SAMUEL BAGSTER, No. 15, PATERNOSTER ROW; AT THE WAREHOUSE FOR BIBLES, NEW TESTAMENTS, PRAYER BOOKS, PSALTERS, AND Πολλαι μεν θνητοις Γλωτται, μια δ' Αθανατοισιν. ADVERTISEMENT. THE circumstances connected with the rise and progress of Christianity, which were in a great measure peculiar to the exigencies of an infant institution, invest its early history with intense interest. Established at first by Divine authority, it was no less nurtured by the evident tokens of Divine approbation. The early records of that important period preserved in the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius, stamp a value on his writings to which, perhaps, no other uninspired historical document can lay claim; especially as in it are related the events which followed immediately upon those of the ‘Acts of the Apostles,' and as it is for a considerable period the only work on early ecclesiastical history. Mr. Bagster, therefore, feels pleasure in republishing a translation of this valuable work, which he trusts will be found acceptable, and conduce to the growing taste of the present age for ecclesiastical history. 15, Paternoster Row. *Boston, U.
