N. B.-The" A.D." in the book, at the top of the page, indicates the year
of Christ, and not of the period called ANNO DOMINI. That period-or the
Common Christian era, which was introduced by Dionysius (as is supposed
about A.D. 516-is computed to have been set four years too late. So that
Christ was born four years before this era begins to reckon. Confusion has
often arisen from not distinctly noting this.
