Excerpt from Higher Criticism: What Is It, and Where Does It Lead Us? My Dear Mr. Mason, It is now many years ago since you first pressed on me, as on your other pupils, that wise maxim of the Men of the Great Synagogue, "Be cautious in judgment." This is a principle that cannot be too rigidly insisted on in every branch of theological criticism, though it would seem that on many hands it is held nowadays in scant esteem. Deep and hearty is my gratitude for your guidance and example in the application of this principle to the Hebrew Bible, and indeed for all the lessons of far past years, in which I, as one of a host of pupils, now scattered over England, and far beyond England, learned to approach the Oracles of Israel under the guidance of one who brought to the interpretation of the Sacred Books alike an unsurpassed scholarship, the keenest appreciation of literary beauty and a profound reverence for the Divine authority of Scripture. I rejoice to take this opportunity of publicly expressing a feeling cherished so long. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
