The first volume here narrates the Creation to the Flood and includes calendars for the first year of the world and the year of the Flood, as well as "an Enquiry into the patriarchal Religion & their manner of worship." The second volume begins with the end of Deluge to Abraham's departure out of Egypt and includes calendars of "the year of promise to Abraham, & of the year in which he went down to Egypt." The volume also contains a prefatory letter "to the learned Sr Richard Ellys Barrt, etc" in which the author explains that "the ultimate end I had in this disquisition is to show as well as I was able, how Christianity is as old as the creation." He offers the volume to Ellys and praises him for his critical work on the New Testament, declaring, "Tis a rare and powerful example when gentlemen of your high rank outdoe their birth & fortune in the more valuable acquirements of learning." Also included are numerous genealogies, such as that from Adam and Eve to 12 generations later. The third volume, dated June 11, 1731, narrates the departure of Abraham out of Egypt to the Exodus. This volume contains an account of "the antient Egyptian Theology, from which that of the Druids is deriv'd"; a calendar of the year of the Exodus; and a prefatory dedication to Roger Gale which references their having visited a druidical site at Abury in Wiltshire together. The volumes also include numerous maps and illustrations. Inside the first volume is a pen and pencil drawing of "A View of the Druids temple at Abury. Mar. 31 1731." Volume 2 contains a pen drawing of plan of Noah's ark; a map of the Mediterranean; and, tipped in, a printed map of "Asiae Antiquissimae" showing the dispersal of the family of Noah after the flood, and printed with the name of William Stukeley M. D.
