Abstract
THE present volume is the second of a series published under the editorship of Prof. Craig, of the University of Michigan, with the object of presenting “in popularly scientific form” the results of recent researches in Semitic fields. Prof. Craig has laid down for the last two years an ambitious programme of the work to be done in his series, and has announced the titles of no less than thirteen books of the series, but up to the present time only two of them have appeared. The first, by Prof. Sayce, was devoted to the social life of the Babylonians and Assyrians, and was reviewed by us last year; the second, which has appeared this year, and with which we are concerned, deals with the manners and customs of the ancient Hebrews. Mr. Day has undertaken a subject of great interest and, at the same time, one of great difficulty, inasmuch as almost the only sources accessible are limited to the Books of the Old Testament.
