Synopsis
Excerpt from The Uncanonical and Apocryphal Scriptures, Being the Additions to the Old Testament Canon Which Were Included in the Ancient Greek and Latin Versions, the English Text of the Authorised Version, Together With the Additional Matter Found in the Vulgate And
It is sometimes remarked that the study of the Apocrypha has been strangely neglected in England. An interest is, however, being now awakened in the subject, especially as connected with Talmudic research, and other Jewish literature. The value of the Apocrypha is also being recognised in the testimony which it gives to the Canon of the Old Testament, and to the antiquity and authority of the Hebrew Books, at a time when the received tradition is assailed by so much destructive criticism. Apocrypha] writers, who claim no inspiration for themselves, manifest the profoundest reverence and faith towards the Books of the Law and the Prophets as given by Divine inspiration. Their words shew forth their wise understand 'ing, and their lips utter the purest knowledge, and yet they are 'fain sundry ways to excuse themselves; sometimes ending their 'talk, as doth the history of the Maccabees: If we have done well.
