Essay, 1790.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207148965

In New Hampshire, Langdon wrote this manuscript, dated 1790, entitled Observations on the Revelations of Jesus Christ to Saint John Which comprehend the most approved Sentiments of the celebrated Mr. Mede, Mr. Lowman, Bishop Newton, and other noted Writers on this Book; and cast much additional light on the more obscure Prophecies; especially those which point out the time of the Rise and Fall of Antichrist. The book was printed in 1791 by Isaiah Thomas (1749-1831) in Worcester, Mass. (There are also three letters in the Isaiah Thomas Papers at AAS from Langdon, arranging for the details of the publication.). The title page of the manuscript was corrected for printing, as was the contents page. Approximately half of that list and the first few pages of the manuscript are missing. Few, if any, corrections were made in the text.
