SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH.

By J. WELLHAUSEN,
PROFESSOR AT MARBURG.


'This work is now issued for the third time as an independent treatise. It admirably epitomizes the subject, and exhibits on almost every page evidences of Professor Wellhausen's profound study.'—Publishers' Circular.

'We would only say that those who differ from his critical views will yet do well to study them, and to read this history in which he applies them. Its separate publication, in a handy form and at a moderate price, makes it generally accessible.'—North British Daily Mail.

'The publication in a separate form of Professor Wellhausen's article in the "Encyclopædia Britannica" on "Israel" will be very warmly welcomed by many readers.'—Manchester Guardian.

'We are very glad to welcome an edition of Professor Wellhausen's "Sketch of the History of Israel and Judah" in a convenient and handy form. This is the first time it has appeared in a separate form. It is already known to students; it ought now to become popular. It is based on the learned author's studies in Hebrew literature and history, and, though not controversial in form, it differs totally from orthodox presentations of the subject.'—Westminster Review.

'A sketch which has created such widespread and profound interest as this could not be kept in the pages of a voluminous encyclopædia. Wellhausen's words necessarily have exceptional importance, even in the esteem of those who differ from him toto cœlo.'—Baptist Magazine.

'The profound scholarship of the author does not elevate his writing above the interest of the general reader, and a vivid idea of the involved Jewish history is obtainable from this volume.'—Christian Advocate.
