Excerpt from The Meditations and Maxims of Koheleth: A Practical Exposition of the Book of Ecclesiastes
I have been compelled to choose, after careful thought, those interpretations which, on the whole, commended themselves to my own mind. I have not cared, however, except in one or two Special instances, to trouble the reader with the grounds of such choice, or even with the various interpreta tions from amongst which my choice has been made.
In the preparation of my lectures for the press, I have availed myself of the Revised Version, which has appeared since they were delivered and I have now to thank the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge for permission to cite that Version as the basis of my exposition. I am glad and somewhat relieved to find that, after having followed the method above described, I am able, as a rule, to adhere closely to the renderings given by the Revisers, either in their text or in their margin.
