This “tiny little volume ... presents a clear account ... of the elements of scientific psychology, and is thoroughly up to date.”—Acad.
“Small and unambitious though it be, this book is worth more than the little space it would fill in the library of the student of mind.”

[*] McFadyen, John Edgar. [Introduction to the Old Testament.] $1.75. Armstrong.
“Mr. McFadyen sums up accurately and concisely the established results in regard to each book of the Old Testament, avoiding positive assertion where the facts do not warrant it. The inexpert reader will get from this book in a small compass a clear idea of the results of criticism and also of the common-sense method by which they have been arrived at.”—Acad.
[*] “Mr. McFadyen writes in a most interesting style: and successfully brings out both the human interest and the religious value of the several books.”

MacFarland, Charles Stedman. Jesus and the prophets; an historical, exegetical, and interpretative discussion of the use of the Old Testament prophecy by Jesus and his attitude towards it. [**]$1.50. Putnam.
“Holding Jesus to be more than a prophet, Dr. MacFarland sees that he was called to the work of a prophet, to meet a spiritual exigency, as the ancient prophets in their time had done.... As Jesus’ disciples misunderstood the prophets, so they misunderstood and still misunderstand his use of them.” (Outlook.) The author is a Congregational minister.
“No one should hereafter use Dr. Briggs’s or any of the older works on Messianic prophecy as authorities without parallel reference to this newer treatise.”
