But certainly the most intelligent readers will be least surprised at this. For the full discussion of the character, claims, teachings and influence of the hebrew lawgrver would require more volumes than the chapters we here present; indeed the writings called forth by the Pentateuch would make a library in number far exceeding the pages of this work; nor will these volumes be issued in vain, even though con taining little that is new, if they serve to awaken in their readers an interest in Scriptural teachings.
