VOLUME II.

THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.

CHAPS. XL.-LXVI.

REV. DR. MARCUS DODS, in _The British Weekly_, says: "That criticism so keen and so well principled should co-exist with a historical sense so fully developed as Mr. Smith's, is perhaps not so wonderful as that both these high and useful faculties should seem not to overwhelm and smother, but rather to stimulate and find opportunity for the faculty of dramatic presentation, for the magical English style, and, above all, for the singular spiritual insight which this volume exhibits."

REV. DR. BEET says: "The first volume of Smith's _Isaiah_ took us all by surprise, and revealed the advent of an expositor of the first rank. The high standard thus set up is fully maintained in the second volume. Indeed, as dealing with more difficult topics it increases greatly our respect for the author. We have accurate Hebrew scholarship, keen insight into the life and thought of Isaiah's day, and devout appreciation of the abiding spiritual worth of this ancient prophecy presented in a form intelligible and attractive to all."

THE RECORD. "Mr. Smith is a sound and thoroughly capable Hebrew scholar, and he has written in these volumes an exposition of Isaiah which every scholarly teacher and every conscientious expounder of the evangelical prophet, even though he may differ from Mr. Smith upon occasion, ought to possess."

THE ACADEMY. "It is needless to mention the literary merits which in reviews of the first volume of this work were so abundantly recognised. This is, indeed, one of the few theological books which it is a pure pleasure to read; nor need one, in the case of the present volume, add the qualifying remark that the homiletical element is somewhat unduly large. The scholarship too, is still as accurate as might be expected from Mr. Smith's excellent training."

THE INDEPENDENT: "It is in every way a notable book, and will even add to the now established reputation of its author among Old Testament students. The two volumes taken together constitute one of the most successful attempts ever made to expound an Old Testament book in the light of modern research. Mr. Smith has here shown something of the power of criticism to do constructive work, and has made it abundantly evident that some, at least, of the recent critical results may be used with most illuminating and inspiring effect."

THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE HOLY LAND.

Especially in Relation to the History of Israel and of the Early Church.

"In some respects the book is the most comprehensive and complete contribution to Palestinian literature of the last twenty years.... In English, at least, there is no book from which the reader can carry away in his mind's eye so clear, connected, and permanent a picture of Palestine as from Dr. Smith's."--_Daily News._

"A very noteworthy contribution to the study of sacred history, based upon the three indispensable conditions of personal acquaintance with the land, a study of the explorations, discoveries, and decipherments, especially of the last twenty years, and the employment of the results of Biblical criticism during the same period. The necessity and importance of such an undertaking need no demonstration, and the results as set forth in Dr. Smith's learned and laborious work will be appreciated by all competent scholars."--_Times._

"It is not often that we have to review a book so thorough and so masterly, and, at the same time, written in a style which commands attention as well as admiration.... It contains and 'uses' the important parts of all the immense mass of modern research and discovery, enriched and illuminated by a mind of imagination and poetry, as well as scholarship."--_Saturday Review._

"This is really a great book. A subject of fascinating interest has been treated with an ability and a fulness which leave nothing to be desired."--_Westminster Gazette._

"These expositions are in every way admirable, and worthy of the highest admiration."--_Aberdeen Free Press._

"Very choice expositions in a deeply spiritual vein. Learning, genius, and grace combine to make these four choice psalms more precious than ever."--_Baptist._

MODERN CRITICISM AND PREACHING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.

_Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s._

DR. ROBERTSON NICOLL says in _The British Weekly_: "Dr. George Adam Smith has given us a fresh, brilliant, Christian book on a vital subject. In some respects it is perhaps on an even higher level than anything else he has written. It would be impertinent in us to speak of the scholarship shown everywhere. Dr. Smith is as accurate as he is brilliant. There are many evidences not only of his scholarship, but of the wide range his reading has covered. The book is written throughout with marked distinction, and in a high and generous spirit. It is anything but a mere _résumé_. It is full of originality and suggestiveness, and is alive and challenging from end to end. It is as powerful and ardent as anything Dr. Smith has written, and it is also spiritual and subtle."

THE BOOK OF THE TWELVE PROPHETS.

Commonly called the Minor.

_In Two Volumes. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d. each._

VOL. I.--AMOS, HOSEA AND MICAH.

VOL. II.--ZEPHANIAH, NAHUM, HABAKKUK, OBADIAH, HAGGAI, ZECHARIAH
I.-VIII., "MALACHI," JOEL, "ZECHARIAH" IX.-XIV., AND JONAH.

"In Dr. Smith's volumes we have much more than a popular exposition of the minor Prophets. We have that which will satisfy the scholar and the student quite as much as the person who reads for pleasure and for edification.... If the minor Prophets do not become popular reading it is not because anything more can be done to make them attractive. Dr. Smith's volumes present this part of Scripture in what is at once the most attractive and the most profitable form."--DR. MARCUS DODS in the _British Weekly_.

"By his two volumes on Isaiah, and that preceding the present one of the Prophets, Professor Smith gave abundant evidence both of his Hebrew scholarship and his capacity as an expositor of Scripture, ... and he has now put us under fresh obligations by publishing this volume, which in no respect falls behind its predecessors."--_Scotsman._

"The volume which completes the great enterprise is one of the best."--_Methodist Times._

"The volume altogether, in its accurate scholarship, its vivid descriptions, its bold and candid treatment of difficulties, and its fulness of reference to the labours of other critics of every school, forms not only one of the most brilliant of the series, but one of the foremost of British contributions to the literature of its special subject."--_Christian World._

FROM PRESS NOTICES OF VOLUME I.

"Dr. Bruce's commentary on the Synoptics is a notable piece of work. It is cheering and refreshing to find these books, with which our inner life is so closely bound up, treated frankly and honestly, as well as adequately for English readers, and withal in so believing and reverent a spirit that the treatment need not repel the most orthodox.... All is set forth with great frankness and admirable common sense, and often in racy language, not without an occasional Scottish flavour."--_Athenæum._

"The first thing that strikes one when he takes up the volume on the Gospels is the uncommon handsomeness of the book. It is a joy to handle it and look into its pages. It is the very book to lure a student into reading. The form is so superb, the paper so choice and so light, the margins so delightfully broad, the type so clear and so tasteful.... The two scholars to whom this volume has been committed are the very men for the work. Each is a master of his subject, and each has gone into his task _con amore_.... A work worthy of the most cordial appreciation."--_Critical Review._

CATHOLICISM--ROMAN AND ANGLICAN.

"Dr. Fairbairn's able and striking volume.... The treatment is throughout so thoughtful and free from narrow polemical bias."--_Times._

"The book is certainly one every theologian must welcome--high-minded in tone, broad in its outlook, penetrating in its vision, and full of luminous _apercus_ on the history of thought and of events."--_Literature._

_Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d._

RELIGION IN HISTORY AND IN MODERN LIFE.

Together with an Essay on the Church and the Working Classes.

"In its new dress, 'Religion in History' is a timely and weighty contribution to a subject with which theologians but too seldom venture to grapple."--_Scotsman._

"It is one of the best pieces of work which even Principal Fairbairn has ever done."--_Aberdeen Free Press._

_8vo, cloth, 12s._

THE PLACE OF CHRIST IN MODERN THEOLOGY.

"His work is, without doubt, one of the most valuable and comprehensive contributions to theology that has been made during this generation."--_The Spectator._

"A more vivid summary of church history has never been given. With its swift characterisation of schools and politics, with its subtle tracings of the development of various tendencies through the influence of their invironment, of reaction, and of polemic; with its contrasts of different systems, philosophies, and races; with its portraits of men; with its sense of progress and revolt--this part of Dr. Fairbairn's book is no mere annal, but drama, vivid and full of motion, representative of the volume and sweep of Christianity through the centuries."--_The Speaker._
