Excerpt from The Bible of to-Day: A Course of Lectures The lectures contained in this volume were writ ten during the winter of 1877-78, for my own people, some of whom came to hear them with some others. I publish them at the request of various persons who listened to them, and who desire to Impress them more distinctly on their memories, also with the hope of propagating their ideas some-what beyond the circle of my original audience. Prepared and written as they were in the course of a single season, and in connection with many other tasks, they do not of course pretend to any virtue of original research or exhaustive presentation. My object is to condense into a single volume, modest in size and cost, the principal results of the best historical and scientific criticism of the separate books of the Bible, and of their mutual relations. I am not aware of any other volume which has made exactly this attempt, and it is high time that somebody should make it.
