Excerpt from The Historical Criticism of Documents External Criticism is complete. It remains by means of Internal Criticism to decide the value of the evidence contained in the source, to interpret the latter, and by means of this evidence establish the historical facts of which we are in search. These facts are then grouped, gaps are filled in by construo tive reasoning, and the whole is presented in such a form as to render intelligible the process and facts of historical development.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Biblical Criticism and Modern Thought: Or the Place of the Old Testament Documents in the Life of to-Day The author of the present volume was appointed to the Chancellor's Lectureship of Queen's University in 1906 and 1907, and delivered to the Theological Alumni Association the nine lectures which form the substance of the book. Chapter I., which now serves as an Introduction, appeared in 1901 as an article in The Biblical World (Chicago), and is reproduced by permission; Chapter XI. was read before The Philosophical Society of Queen's University in the autumn of 1906; the remaining three chapters, X., XIII., and XIV., were added to round out a little more the programme that the author had in mind. So much as to the origin of the book, now as to its plan and purpose. The title, though perhaps somewhat too general, indicates the spirit in which the work was undertaken. Considering the audience to which, in the first place, the lectures were to be addressed, it was thought advisable to attempt a general review of the Old Testament Problem.

Excerpt from The Higher Criticism: Four Papers Asserted that even the most generally accepted con clusions of the Higher Criticism are contradicted by archaeology: but our readers must rest assured that this is not the case: such statements rest uniformly upon some misapprehension either of the grounds upon which critics rest their conclusions, or of the bearing of the facts of archaeology upon them.* It need only be added, lastly, that in what has been said, both in this Preface and in the papers which follow, -except in one or two places where the contrary will be self-evident, - the Old Testament alone has been held in view. With regard to the New Testament, it may be sufficient to observe that, as has been pointed out below (p. The very different conditions under which the writings of the New Testament were produced, and especially the relatively short interval of time separating them from the period of our Lord's life upon earth, make it to our minds impossible that the application to it of the methods of the Higher Criticism (in the legitimate sense of the expression), though it may alter our view of the origin and strue ture of some of the documents concerned, should ever affect appreciably the historical evidence for all the leading facts of our Lord's life, or for the vital truths of Christianity.

Excerpt from The Gutenberg Fiction: A Critical Examination of the Documents Relating to Gutenberg, Showing That He Was Not the Inventor of Printing Bockenheimer's reasons for objeeting to the documents are plausible; they tend to show that, drawn up in ignorance of the legal, social, and local customs of the period (1434 55) in which the events or ae'tions are said to have taken place, the documents describe actions and proceedings that are at variance with the then prevailing usages. He also points out that according to the researches or Dr. Levi of Strassburg, our knowledge of Strassburg lawsuits goes no further back than the sixteenth century, so that if the Strassburg lawsuit of 1439 were genuine, it would furnish us with extensive records of a trial said to have taken place a century earlier, and would have, on that account, a value far beyond that which it has with respect to Gutenberg's career.
