Rouse, G. H. Old Testament criticism in New Testament light. [*]$1. Union press.
An address given before the Bengali Christian conference of Calcutta has been expanded into this volume which is addressed to the general reader. It presents “modern views” upon subjects included under the chapter headings, Our basis—Christ made no mistakes; Christ’s treatment of the Old Testament; The relation of the Levitical law to the prophetic history and teaching; The Pentateuch; The authorship of Psalm cx.; The historicity, accuracy, and authoritativeness of the Old Testament; The book of Daniel; Prophecy; and Critical methods.
“The higher critics will find in this work much to learn, and much to moderate their views, while the uncritical Christian will find much to deepen his faith and to strengthen his hold on the Old Testament as well as the New Testament.” T. H. L. Leary.

[*] Routh, James Edward, jr. Fall of Tollan. $1. Badger, R: G.
A dramatic poem in which Quetzal is sent by “the all-father, the high Tonaca,” to rule over Mexican Tollan and become a power for good. The god of darkness, “lest man should be all blessed,” took the form of Lord Tezca who basely seized the throne and “scoffing all but careless, jovial wit and witty joy,” ruled until “hostile tribes flung down the bronze-wrought gates.” Kingdom followed kingdom, while the people dumbly waited for “Quetzal’s hoped return.”
