looking for a certain book,...
#2
I have William Whiston's works on Flavius Josephus. Whiston was the third Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University who succeeded Isaac Newton.

I am more interested in Newton's "Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John" which was published 6 years after his death. Until now I couldn't find the book.

I am glad you asked about William Whiston because while trying to answer your question, I finally found Isaac Newton's great book online. http://blueletterbible.org/Comm/isaac_ne...index.html <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->

Newton says, "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."

I suggest you try http://www.dovebook.com/used/Default.asp which is my favourite out of print bookseller. I think they are the best for scholarly resources and out of print books. I used to buy many books from them long before there was an Amazon. There was no web site for me to refer to more than a decade ago. Only catalogues! <!-- sBig Grin --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/happy.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Happy" /><!-- sBig Grin -->

You can try Project Gutenberg for books that are in public domain. I did a search but couldn't find the book you mentioned.

You should bookmark this site http://promo.net/pg/
