Excerpt from The Quotations of the New Testament From the Old: Considered in the Light of General Literature These laws are of two kinds first, those which be long to all literatures of all ages and nations, like that of truth, or that of beauty and Secondly, those which change with season and clime, the dictates of eva nescent or local taste and custom, like the absence Of rhyme from ancient poetry, the parallelism of Hebrew poetry, or the alliteration of English poetry. In quot ing from the Old Testament, do the writers of the New violate the fundamental law Of all literature, which is that Of truth? Or do they Observe this, and do the accusations made against them proceed from forgetful ness, either of the laws of literature in general, or of temporary laws, the literary custom, prevalent in their age The answer will be found in the following pages, where I have sought to secure for the writers of the New Testament a candid hearing in the court of the republic of letters, a' commonwealth of which, to say the least, they are illustrious citizens.
