Genesis is a name taken from the
Greek, and signifies "the
Book of
Generation or production;" it is properly
So called, as
containing an account of the origin of all things. There is
No
other history
So old. There is nothing in the most ancient
Book
which exists that contradicts it; while many things recorded
By
the oldest
Heathen writers, or to be traced in the customs of
different nations, confirm what is related in the
Book of
Genesis.
