    Sir , Itridport , June % 1818 . IN the observations I thought proper to prefix to the two letters of the late Mr . Evanson , to which you have done me . the favour to give a place in the Repository , £ pp . 7—10 , ] I took the liberty to recommend to your learned correspondents for discussion , his

    hypothesis , previously advanced by Sir Isaac Newton , and sanctioned by the opinion of Bishop Newton , that there are evident references in the apostolic epistles to-many passages of the Apocalypse of John . As some of your readers may not have the books
