Four Psalms XXIII. XXXVI. LII. CXXI.: Interpreted for practical use
Smith, George Adam
Bible. Psalms -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
For all this we sing the Psalm of Christ. We know that so long as we have
our conversation among the lofty things of life, His dominating Presence
grows only the more clear; and so long as we are beset by things adverse
and tempting, His sympathy and His prevailing grace become the more sure.
_The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul_.
_The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in, from this time
forth and for evermore._

THE HISTORICAL
GEOGRAPHY OF THE
HOLY LAND
With Six Maps, specially prepared.
_Seventh Thousand. 8vo, cloth_, _15s_.
With New Index and additions, and corrections.
'A very noteworthy contribution to the study of sacred history, based
upon the three indispensable conditions of personal acquaintance with
the land, a study of the explorations, discoveries, and decipherments
... and the employment of the results of Biblical criticism.'--_Times_.
'Professor Smith is well equipped at all points for this work. He is
abreast of the latest findings of Scripture exegesis, and of geographical
survey, and of archæological exploration; and he has himself travelled
widely over Palestine. The value of the work is incalculably increased
by the series of geographical maps, the first of the kind representing
the whole lift and lie of the land by gradations of colour.'--_Scotsman_.

THE BOOK OF ISAIAH
VOL. I.--CHAPS, I.--XXXIX.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d_.
'This is a very attractive book. Mr. George Adam Smith has such a mastery
of the scholarship of his subject that it would be sheer impertinence for
most scholars, even if tolerable Hebraists, to criticise his translations.
All we desire is to let English readers know how very lucid, impressive,
and, indeed, how vivid a study of Isaiah is within their reach.... We will
give an example of both aspects of this most fascinating
book.'--_Spectator_.
VOL. II.--CHAPS, XL.--LXVI.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d_.
'It is needless to mention the literary merits which in reviews of the
first volume of this work were so abundantly recognised. This is, indeed,
one of the few theological works which it is a pure pleasure to read; nor
need one in the case of the present volume add the qualifying remark that
the homiletical element is somewhat unduly large. The scholarship, too, is
still as accurate as might be expected from Mr. Smith's excellent
training.'--_Academy_.
