The Darkness at the Crucifixion

By Editor

The inquiry has arisen from the item published in Review, No. 5, on the date of the crucifixion, whether the darkness over all the land from the sixth to the ninth hour, was caused by an eclipse of the sun. We think not; for the darkness was too long continued to be attributed to such a cause, and occurred at the wrong time in the month. We have no doubt that the correct date of the crucifixion, so far, at least, as the year is concerned, was given in that article; but some of its statements have doubtless suffered by extensive copying through inaccurate journals.
