SUMMARY.

Whole number of words 945, of which 485 occur in Isaiah A, and only 439 in Ezekiel, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi combined (class e, second notation). As A contains 44 pages and e 109, the words of the Index occur in the former in the ratio to the latter of nearly three to one. If B belongs to class e the further fact is inexplicable that his vocabulary coincides with A against e, when each arbitrary division of the Index according to the letters of the alphabet is taken separately. Why did he never happen to speak the language of his own age? The ratios are as follows:

An Article pointing out some of the most interesting facts pertaining to special words in the Index will conclude this series.

ARTICLE VI.

PROFESSOR W. ROBERTSON SMITH AND HIS THEORIES OF OLD TESTAMENT CRITICISM.

BY REV. CHARLES F. THWING, CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

IT is the purpose of this paper to set forth the views of W. Robertson Smith in respect to (1) the character, purpose, and method of biblical criticism; (2) the formation of the present Hebrew text of the Old Testament; (3) the formation of the canon of the Old Testament; and (4) the origin of certain individual books.

The materials for this exposition consist of the articles, at the present writing some dozen in number, which Professor Smith has contributed to the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and of which the more important are those relating to the Bible and to the Hebrew language and literature; and also of a volume of lectures on biblical criticism, entitled, The Old Testament in the Jewish Church. It is in this volume that the author's views are elaborated, and it forms the principal authority in setting them forth.

Before beginning the task, however, it is of worth to recall the occasion which gives to the theories of Professor Smith their peculiar importance. In the year 1870, at the early age of twenty-four, W. Robertson Smith was recommended and elected to the professorship of Hebrew in the Free Church College in Aberdeen. "Here," he writes, "I continued for seven years, teaching, pursuing my own studies, and occasionally writing, till my connection with the Encyclopaedia Britannica suddenly aroused the conservative party." This connection is represented in the article on the Bible in the Encyclopaedia. This article, the positions of which will presently be stated in detail, treated of the sacred
