Excerpt from The Problem of the Old Testament: Considered With Reference to Recent Criticism

The thanks of the author are due, in the first place, to the Trustees of Lake Forest College, and to the ad judicators acting on their behalf, who, in their generosity, have awarded to this book the munificent prize at their dis posal from the Bross Fund. It is right, however, to say, that, although the present volume has been so fortunate as to obtain the Bross Prize, it was not for the Bross Prize, or with thought or knowledge of the same, that the book was written. But for a long-standing promise to the English publishers, it is doubtful if it ever would have been written at all. The book was sent to press in the beginning of this year, and the delay in its publication has been due principally to the afterthought of submitting it in proof to the judgment of the Bross Prize arbiters. The author is deeply sensible of the courtesy of the publishers in so readily meeting his Wishes in this matter at inconvenience to themselves.
