C1103.43.39 HARVARD COLLEGE Mar 17. 1932 Arthur D. Hill District of New-Jersey, to wit: L.S. BE IT REMEMBERED, That on the Seventh day of April, in the Forty Ninth year of the Independence of the United States of America, Anno Domini 1825, D. A. BORRENSTEIN, of the said District, hath deposited in this Office the title of a book, the right whereof he claims as proprietor, in the words following, to wit: "A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE EVIDENCES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. BY ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER, PROFESSOR OF DIDACTIC AND POLEMIC THEOLOGY, IN THE THEOLOGICAL SEMIANRY, AT PRINCETON, N. J. -Τί δὲ καὶ ἀφ' ἑαυτῶν οὐ κρίνετε τὸ δίκαιον ; LUKE, XII. 57. In eonformity to an act of the Congress of the United States, entitled, “An act for the encouragen.ent of learning by securing the copies of Maps, Charts, and Books to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned." And also to the act entitled, "An act supplementary to an aet entitled, An act for the encouragement of learning by securing the copies of Maps, Charts and Books to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned, and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing, etching, and engraving historical and other prints."
