Cornill, Carl H. Introduction to the canonical books of the Old Testament; tr. by G. H. Box. (Theological translation lib.) *$3. Putnam.
A translation of Professor Cornill’s fifth revised edition. The volume renders to the reader “knowledge which will enable him to understand the problems of the Old Testament and value the solutions which scholars have offered.” (Ath.)
“There is in our language no single volume on the subject which contains so much material, and especially which gives such full lists of relevant writings, as does this book by Prof. Cornill. There is always danger, however, that the limitations of a short work on a long subject may make an author dogmatic, and in this respect Prof. Cornill is not above suspicion.”

“The clearness and conciseness of the original are preserved in the translation, but it is to be regretted that the translator has made references to previous passages by sections only, which are not noted at the top of the page and are therefore difficult to find in the text.”

“While primarily designed as a handbook for critical students, it is serviceable in the main points and general lines for intelligent readers, though unacquainted with Hebrew, in its presentation of Old Testament critical science at this date, both as to its closed questions and remaining problems.”
