Excerpt from The Prophecies of Isaiah, Vol. 1 of 2: A New Translation With Commentary and Appendices Here the author ventures to close his confessions relative to his personal views on theological subjects. At a future time he may have a word given him to say on at least one of the larger questions connected with prophecy (see pp. 199, but to enter upon these here would defeat his present object, which is rather to clarify the facts than prematurely to manifest the deductions. He has still the pleasing, duty of expressing his thanks to friends. Mr. Driver, of New College, has materially assisted him in the revision of the proofs of the translation and commentary, and the representa tiyes of the late Dr. Weir, Professor of Hebrew in the University of Glasgow, and a member of the Old Testament Revision Company, have most kindly given him permission to examine and make extracts from that eminent scholar's note-books on Isaiah. The results of his examination, though small, are of genuine value, and will help to perpetuate the memory of a singularly fresh and candid mind. They will appear chie¿y in the second volume. The late professor had devoted special attention to obscure passages, and occasionally produced emendations which, to say the least, throw great light on the text. Specimens of his exegesis have also from time to time been given, his exegesis, however, though generally sober, and sometimes very clear-sighted, was by no means so remarkable as his criticism of the text. His notes are not in a state for anything like full publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
