Excerpt from General Introduction to the Study of Holy Scripture: The Principles, Methods, History, and Results of Its Several Departments and of the Whole Hebrew Poetry which I have held and taught for the past twenty-five years with increasing confidence. Illustrations from the New Testament as well as from the Old Testament are given here as elsewhere throughout the book. Some of my readers may be surprised at the amount of poetry found in the New Testament. But I think that they will see from the illustrations given that if the views of Hebrew Poetry taken in the volume are correct, the specimens from the New Testament are as fine and sure specimens as those from the Old Testament.
