THE

HESE Letters are printed chiefly to be distributed among the Jews; and if there should appear to be any prospect of

their answering the end for which they were compofed, they will be tranflated into Hebrew, for the ufe of learned Jews in all parts of the world, to engage them,`` if poffible, in an amicable difcuffion of the fubject.

It may be proper to obferve, that the word Chrift, in this work, is ufed only as à proper name, to denote the founder of the christian religion, and not as fynonymous to Messiah, though it was originally nothing more than a tranflation of that word into Greek.

Since the first edition of thefe Letters, I have published Letters to Philofophical Unbelievers, Part II. in which I have ftated the evidence of the Jewish and chriftian religions jointly, and therefore I with the Jews would give particular attention to them, and confider them as an appendage to thefe Letters, addreffed to themselves.
