This little volume is a fitting crown to the exegetical studies of Dr. Delitzsch. From various points of view it is likely to be of unusual interest, not only to those who have been accustomed to peruse his works, but also to others. The proofs of the original were read by the lamented author as he was confined to his bed by his last illness, weak in' body, but clear in mind. The preface which be dictated five days before his departure was his final literary work. The last printed sheet was laid on his bed the day before he died.
