FIRST EDITION, pp (4), 46, (2, blank), with half-title, 8vo, recent wrapper : nice copy. After an illness, Owen (1766–1822), missionary society administrator, went abroad in August 1818.

An enquiry into the grounds on which the prophetic period of Daniel and St. John, has been supposed to consist of 1260 years. Second edition. London : Printed for J. G. and F. Rivington, 1837. Pages iv, 72 and errata slip, 8vo, recent paper wrapper :a very good copy. First published 1826, here with a new preface. Maitland (1792–1866), Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist. "This piece turned out to be a significant contribution to the discussion regarding the interpretation of Daniel's Seventy Weeks, and especially, the so-called ‘Year-day Theory’, which had attracted many adherents. Maitland aimed to demonstrate the folly of equating the crucial 1260 days in prophecy with calendar years, so that speculation abounded in many prophetic circles as to when the period in question would end and usher in the consummation. In an era of almost unparalleled fascination with apocalyptic questions of this sort, Maitland's work won much attention. Further interest was fuelled by the appearance of the Catholic Apostolic church and the Plymouth Brethren, movements which foreshadowed the increasing popularity of the ‘futurist’ method of prophetic interpretation, as opposed to what would be termed the ‘historicist’ at that time. Clearly, Maitland's stance lent further credibility to the futurist hermeneutic, which would eventually become very popular, especially among evangelicals, though he was careful not to align himself with any particular faction." - ODNB.(3) WHATELY ( Richard ), Abp.
