Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guidebook to the Biblical Literature Controversies warrantable enough, perhaps, to myopic human nature, but generally reducible; for all their solemn sincerity, to some phase of smallness or one-sidedness. Yet, even so, they are1not to be scorned; there are shreds of truth at the bottom of them; but neither are they to be emulated. The truth that is in them may be found, I am sure, in some more tolerant way, some way more consistent with comity of spirit and aim. But to find it one must ascend must reach some point above, where the tangled lines meet and unite. The Biblical literature, after all, does make for plain ness, simplicity, unity; it requires only that one shall hnd the master-key and consistently use it. This is why, as inti mated above, I desiderate a fair and free point of view. Fair, I mean, to all sides, all moods, all constituent factors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Cyclopaedia of Biblical Literature, Vol. 1 The present work was undertaken with the design of providing the public with a more complete View of the existing state of Biblical literature, both at home and abroad, than it previously possessed. It was felt that former works of the kind, numerous as they are, and useful as some of them may be considered, were built too exclusively upon the 'old learning' of Calmet and others; and that some recent attempts to give a more modern character to such undertakings had been made too entirely from home materials, and had too exclusive reference to such external facts and circumstances as travellers and antiquarians offer, to meet the demands of the present time. The work, therefore, owes its origin to the Editor's conviction of the existence of a great body of untouched materials, applicable to such a purpose, which the activity of modern research and the labours of modern criticism had accumulated, and which lay invitingly ready for the use of those who might know how to avail themselves of such resources. It was no task for one man to gather in this great harvest. And as the ground seemed, for the most part, common to all Christian men, it appeared desirable that assistance should be sought from a sufficient number of competent Biblical scholars and others, without distinction of country or religious party, that the field might be the more thoroughly swept, and the greater wealth of illustration obtained, from men of dif ferent lines of reading and various habits of thought. The prompt manner in which the call of the Editor for co-operation has been met by the numerous eminent Biblical scholars and naturalists, whose names appear in the List of Contributors, has been among the highest gratifications arising to him out of this undertaking; while the ability, the laborious research, the care and the punctuality, with which they have dis charged the various tasks confided to them, demand his warmest acknowledgments. The only drawback likely to arise from co-operation so various and extensive, lay in the probability that considerably different views might be manifested in the several articles and that, too, on subjects on which every reader is likely to have formed some Opinion of his own, and will be disposed to regard as erroneous or suspicious every Opinion which may not entirely coincide with that which he has been accustomed to entertain. In this lay the sole danger and the greatest difficulty of such an under taking. Here was to be a book which no one man, and not even a very few men, could produce; and which the public would yet probably expect to exhibit as much unity, not only of plan and execution, but of opinion and sentiment, as if it were the produce of a single mind. The Editor, however, felt that he could not undertake to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
