Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Ten Tribes, Settled Beyond the River Sambatyon in the East: With Many Other Curious Matters Relating to the State of the Israelites in Various Parts of the World, Etc With respect to the religious Observances, as regards their ceremony, &c., nothing has been noticed by any but our Author. It is supposed that those learned historians were contented to prove the existence of such nations, without paying any particular regard to their religious ceremonies: in this case our Author has been more explicit, as will appear in this Work; and the particulars he mentions, certainly carry something with them of an authentic appearance. His last statement bears date, Anno Mundi 5388, corresponding with 1628. The list of the authors and writers upon this subject will appear at the end of this Work, which are known to the lite rary and learned of the Public, sacred and profane, which will be a great advantage to the religious world, as well as infinite satisfaction and pleasure to the Author.
