Excerpt from Ezra Studies The conclusions reached and stated in my pamphlet have been adopted, in general, by H. P. Smith in his Old Testament History, and by Kent in his Student's Old Testament, but in each case with little or no discussion of the questions involved. So far as I know, the booklet has never been reviewed or estimated in print, except in four brief German notices, to three of which I have occasion to refer in the present volume. It has been mentioned or quoted in a few places, generally in such a way as to Show that it had not been read, but only looked at here and there. Siegfried, in the tolerably long list of monographs given in the preface to his Commentary on ezra-nehemiah does not include it. Driver, Introduction to the Old Testament, names it in his list of monographs, but otherwise takes no notice of it, even when discussing the questions with which it is chiefly concerned.
