"All the subjects connected with Biblical criticism, which are within the pale of what a parochial minister may advantageously know, are fully discussed in the present volume; and the information which it contains, whilst it is sufficiently copious for any ordinary student, is much more to be depended on than in the larger work of Mr Horne."-EDINBURGH REVIEW. "This unpretending volume is more than its title-page asserts for it. Professor Davidson has done great justice to a most essential part of the education of a clergyman. His task was no light one, and the manner of its discharge merits the gratitude of the student."-CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY REVIEW. "The various topics embraced in Dr Davidson's volume, are treated in such a way as to show that instead of servilely copying from copyists, he has gone to the sources of authority, and examined, and judged for himself. His reasonings and results are conveyed in a lively and spirited style, at the farthest possible remove from the dry, abstract, barren prosings which usually distinguish treatises of this nature."AMERICAN BIBLICAL REPOSITORY.
