Commentary
The Septuagint and Hebrew Chronologies Tried by the Test of Their Internal Scientific Evidence
William Cuninghame
William Cuninghame of Lainshaw’s chronological treatise of 1838 on the great periods that he holds end in that year. Writing on 15 September 1838, he ends Daniel’s 1260 years in 1792, the 1290 in 1822 and the 1335 in 1867, by when, he argues, the kingdom of God will have been established upon earth.
