The citations, as before, are from the Revised Version of the Bible and Apocrypha, for the use of which I am under obligation to the University Presses of Oxford and Cambridge. It is with the greatest satisfaction that I have noticed, in the four years which have intervened since the first edition of this work, the rapid advance in public recognition of the specially literary study of the Bible.
