Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Mr. Murray informs me that the thousand copies of this work, pub Hshed two months ago, are sold, and that a second edition is called for. In preparing it, I have corrected some dozen errors of the press, which had escaped my notice in the first edition. I have also made two slight changes in the text at pp. 236 and 246 to meet suggestions with which I have been favoured by the Eight Eev. Dr. Hedley, Bishop of Newport and Menevia, and for which I desire to express my sincere thanks to that very learned Prelate. I am indebted to the Rev. Charles Gore for reminding me that the account of the Hexatench given at p. 8does not find favour with the most recent exponents of the higher criticism. No doubt this is so. We are now confidently assured, by the school of which Wellhausen is the best known representative, that the Elohist Javist division must give way to the more scientific analysis into the Priestly codex and the Prophetic additions. But as I am not, personally, prepared to adopt either view, or even to express a preference for either, I have not thought it worth while to alter the page in question. In this connection the following remarks of Edgar Quinet seem not less worthy of attention now than they were when he wrote them :D epuis un demi-siecle, le texte de I Ancien Testament a ete examine de plus pres que jamais.
