“In Mr. Brierley’s treatment of his subject, breadth and discrimination are equally apparent. For all religious teachers, and for any who are perplexed with religious problems, it would not be easy to find a more stimulating and helpful book.”

Briggs, Charles Augustus. Critical and exegetical commentary on the book of Psalms. 2v. v. I. **$3. Scribner.
“This volume includes the introduction to the entire Psalter and the Commentary on Pss. 1–50.... Especial attention is given in the commentary to the poetical form, each psalm being translated with the due attention to the parallelism and recognition of the strophic structure. The critical position of the author might be called conservative in these days when many interpreters are denying the existence of pre-exilic psalms in the Psalter.”—Bib. World.
“The introduction is full and thorough, packed with learning.”
