Dr. W. ROBERTSON SMITH'S WORKS.

THE RELIGION OF THE SEMITES. THE FUNDAMENTAL INSTITUTIONS. By Professor W. ROBERTSON SMITH, author of "The Old Testament in the Jewish Church," "The Prophets of Israel," etc. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00.

"A right understanding of the religion of the Old Testament is the only way to a right understanding of the Christian faith, but... the doctrines and ordinances of the Old Testament can not be thoroughly comprehended until they are put into comparison with the religions of the nations akin to the Israelites." From the Preface.

THE OLD TESTAMENT IN THE JEWISH CHURCH. Twelve Lectures on Biblical Criticism, with Notes. By W. ROBERTSON SMITH, M. A., recently Professor of Hebrew and Exegesis of the Old Testament, Free Church College, Aberdeen. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.

"Professor Robertson Smith's book is exactly what was wanted at once to inform and to stimulate. Written by one of the first Semitic scholars of our time, it is completely abreast of the most recent investigations, and pervaded by a thoroughly scholar-like spirit. His easy mastery of the subject and his sense of which are the really difficult points and which the settled ones are apparent on every page. What is more surprising is the skill wherewith these resources are used. Although scientific in the sense of being thorough, exact, and businesslike, the book is also popular-that is to say, it is perfectly intelligible to every person of fair general education who has read the Bible. For clearness of statement, for cogency of argument, for breadth of view, for impartiality of tone, for the judgment with which details are subordinated to the most interesting and instructive principles and facts, it is a model of how a great and difficult subject should be presented to the world."-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL, AND THEIR PLACE IN HISTORY, to the Close of the Eighth Century B. C. By W. ROBERTSON SMITH, M. A., LL. D. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.

"It is not easy, in a short notice, to go into the justification of Dr. Smith's opinions, but the result of a thorough study of the book is the conviction that he is remarkably careful and accurate in getting at the place which the prophets, before the exile, occupy in the history of Israel, and that he has put the modern reader almost, for the first time, in a position to understand how a Divine revelation was made to men through the Jewish people. . . . Our sense of the value of the two volumes which Dr. Smith has now published is such that we should place them in the hands of all intelligent persons as the best introduction to the profitable study of the Old Testament that has yet appeared in popular form."-New York Times.

"It is not every professor of Hebrew whose academical lectures would furnish forth such a rich feast as now lies before us. Even the happy few who know something of the facts of the Bible will learn much from the felicitousness of the present exposition. For Mr. Robertson Smith is not only a 'full man," but has a singular gift of making a hard subject intelligible. He loves to blow away the mists of controversy and show the truth in all its attractive simplicity."-The Academy.

STUDIES IN THE MODEL PRAYER. By Rev. George D. BOARDMAN, D. D. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.

"The book is an exhaustive treatise upon its fruitful theme; few will gainsay the author's profound study of his subject or question the sincerity of his views. The chapter on temptation is one of the most original and striking interpretations of this line of the prayer that has been presented. The book is one that will have more than a passing interest."-New York Herald.

To the Ten; 5. To Thomas; 6. The Epiphany in the Galilean Mountains; 7. To the Seven; 8. The Ascension; 9. The Forty Days; 10. To Saul of Tarsus.

A COMPREHENSIVE DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE, MAINLY ABRIDGED FROM DR. WILLIAM SMITH'S DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE. With Important Additions and Improvements. Edited by Rev. S. W. Barnum, M. A. Embellished with many hundred Woodcuts, including Maps, Plans of Cities, Illustrations of Manners, Customs, etc. Complete in one vol. Large 8vo. Cloth, $5.00; sheep, $6.00; half morocco, $7.50.

Dr. Smith's Dictionary of the Bible, published in 1860-'63, and containing, in its three large octavo volumes, nearly 3,200 pages, is a work of acknowledged excellence; but its size, cost, and scholarly character, must prevent any extensive circulation of it among the great mass of those who desire and need a Dictionary of the Bible. The "Comprehensive Dictionary," on which nearly two years of editorial labor have already been expended, owes its origin to a settled conviction, on the part of the editor and publishers, of the need of such a modified abridgment of the original work as should make the results of Modern scholarship generally accessible.

STUDENT'S CONCORDANCE TO THE REVISED VERSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Compiled upon an Original Plan, showing all the Changes in all Words referred to.

Cloth, $2.50.

"A concordance of the revised version, to answer its end, should in a measure comprise both versions--to the extent, at least, of affording some clew to the changed words. This has been done in the present work, by giving under each word the words which in any text of the new version are substituted for the same word in the old."-Extract from Preface.
