Excerpt from Professor Smith's Article on "Hebrew Language and Literature" In the Eleventh Volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica As to the so-called Chronicler, may it not be right to ask how far the view presented of his ignorance of Hebrew has carried our professor in the dependence he puts on any of the historical statements, or on minute phrases with historical bearings, which the Chronicler may employ? That this is not asked without ground will be conceded by all who are familiar with recent dis cussions in our Church Courts but, as there may be a natural wish to leave these in the past, let us pass at once to the consideration of a further topic.
