THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON 19

ECCLESIASTICUS 38

NOTE

The Revised Version of the Apocrypha has been used in this volume by the kind permission of the Delegates and Syndics of the University Presses of Oxford and Cambridge. Owing to rigid limitations of space, some deletions have been necessary. These are, principally, the last nine chapters of _The Wisdom of Solomon_, consisting of historical illustrations, and therefore quite well spared; and in _Ecclesiasticus_ chapters xxxv., xxxvi., and from xliv. 16 to 1. 21. The design on the cover is the work of Mr. Edward Frampton, whom I am glad to thank.
