Gardiner, John Hays. Bible as English literature. **$1.50. Scribner.
“A work which confines its attention to the literary character of the Bible as it appears in the authorized version, though recognizing and indorsing the main principles and results of historical criticism.” (Bib. World.) The larger portion of the book is given to the Bible itself “in the original tongues,” and the remaining part to the translations.
“An excellent work of its kind.”

“Has a value limited only by the extent of its circulation, which cannot be too wide. What one particularly enjoys about it is, that though distinctly scholarly, it is distinctly not academic. It is literary as distinguished from, and opposed to pedagogic.” Montgomery Schuyler.
