In the series of "The Temple Bible" (J. M. Dent
and Co.) we have received Isaiah, edited by A. B. Davidson, D.D. (Is. net). Dr. Davidson occupies in this edition the moderate position which we have been long accustomed to associate with his name. He recognises the existence of two substantially different books included under the common name of Isaiah. Whether the "dentero-Isaiah " might not be resolved into two writers, exilic and post-exilic, he appears to have left in doubt. The reader will find the introduction and notes to possess all the value which we should expect under so great a signature. The volume has a melancholy interest in being one of the last to which this eminent divine set his hand. "The Synchronism of Ancient History," which supplements the notes, is positively his latest work.
