Two dissertations : I. Containing an enquiry into the meaning of the word Kesitah, mentioned in Job, chap.42. vers.11. In which is endeavoured to be proved, that though it most probably there stands for the Name of a Coin, yet that there is no reason for supposing it stamped with any Figure at all, and therefore, not with that of a Lamb in particular. II. On the signification of the word Hermes. To which is explained the Origin of the Custom among the Greeks, of erecting Stones called Hepmai; together with some other Particulars, relating to the Mythology of that People | |
The use of astronomy in history and chronology exemplified : in an inquiry into the fall of the stone into the Aegospotamos; said to have been foretold by Anaxagoras. In which is attempted to be shewn, that Anaxagoras did not foretell the Fall of that Stone; but the Solar Eclipse in the first Year of the Peloponnesian War. That what he saw was a Comet at the Time of the Battle of Salamis: And that this Battle was probably fought the Year before Christ 478; or two Years later than it is commonly fixed by Chronologers | |
