SYNOPSIS Of the DOCTRINE of BAPTISM, REGENERATION, CONVERSION, &c.  From the Fathers and other Writers, to the End of the Fourth Century by J.A.  WICKHAM, Esq.  With a PREFACE, by the Rev. H.D.  WICKHAM, M.A., late of Exeter College, Oxford.

“Without saying that such an elaborate Collection is necessary, we may remark on its great utility, and express our hope that Mr. Wickham’s labours will be appreciated by the public.  It is curious that he should have begun, sixteen years ago, a compilation whose publication is so very appropriate to the present moment.”—­Guardian.

“As an editor Mr. Wickham has shown much good taste, patience, and discernment.  Further, he has written a very sensible introductory chapter on the use and authority of the Fathers".—­Church and State Gazette.

GEORGE BELL, 186.  Fleet Street.
