Excerpt from An Historico-Critical Inquiry Into the Origin and Composition of the Hexateuch: Pentateuch and Book of Joshua
Under this aspect it was impossible not to recognise the urgent need, both in Holland and elsewhere, of a concise but complete exposition of the criticism of the Hexateuch which should not only build upon the foundations laid long ago and universally accepted, but should, as it were, construct the whole edifice, from base to pinnacle, before the eyes of the student.
