Excerpt from Analytical Outlines of the Old Testament The compiler, who, since April, 1896, has been continuously engaged in Teacher Training in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and whose graduates are to be found in many parts of the United States, and one in mission work in China, has listened to the urgent requests of a number of these graduates to put the lessons as used in these classes in book form. This gratifying request has furnished the stimulus and inspira tion for the completed book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Outlines of an Introduction to the Old Testament These Outlines are the outgrowth of fifteen years of study and teaching. They are designed simply to indicate the lines along which study is demanded if one is to understand the teachings of the Old Testa ment. NO effort has been made to present an exhaust ive review of the ideas which have been advanced by others in regard to these remarkable books, or to give completeness to the views of the author. Only such points as seem necessary to a correct understanding of the text are presented and these are stated in the briefest form, with such references as may guide the way to further study. If the position here taken seem conservative, it is not because the writer has ignored the later criticism or underestimates its value, but because the newer ideas do not seem to be sufficiently established to demand the abandonment of the older. Great gain has already come from the learned and laborious investigations of the new school of criticism and we hope for still richer fruitage in the future, but the results thus far secured are too vague to become a satisfactory basis for the interpretation of Scripture.

Excerpt from An Atlas, Illustrative of This Work: Is Just Published, in Folio, Price 7s, 6d;, Containing Large Coloured Maps, and an Analysis and Summary of the Historical Geography of the Old and New Testaments, With a Large View of Jerusalem and Plan of the Ancient City The success which attended the publication of an Analysis and Summary of Herodotus has induced the author to compile an Analysis and Summary of Old Tes tament History on a similar plan. Accordingly, the pres ent work contains an Analytical Summary of all the most important events recorded in the Old Testament Scrip tures, arranged in chronological order, but retaining the canonical division into books. Each book of this Sum mary is separated into divisions, excepting where one book contains merely a repetition of the history of a pre ceding one; and each Of these divisions is again subdi vided into paragraphs, all of which have the Contents appended in a peculiar type. These Contents are also thrown together and reprinted at the beginning of each book; full references are also given at the end of each paragraph to the chapters or verses in the Bible in which the original facts are recorded.

Excerpt from An Outline of the History of the Literature of the Old Testament With Chronological Tables: For the History of the Israelites, and Other Aids to Aids Explanation of the Old Testament On pp. 225-247, there is an addition to the matter previously contained in the Supplements, in the form of a Survey of the constituents of the Sources of all the historical books from Genesis to 2 Kings, together with Ezra and Nehemiah. This was requisite because we could not take it for granted that the readers of our Reprint would use along with it the Translation (see above), in which the various documents are distinguished by marginal letters. The Survey now added is naturally in general agreement with those assumptions of literary criticism on which the Translation and the Outline are based. But the renewed weighing of the critical problems and the employment of contributions to the analysis of the sources made by others since 1894, have led to corrections of all kinds, and in some cases (especially with regard to the Third Book of Moses) to more precise results concerning certain strata of the Sources.
