Excerpt from The History of Israel, Vol. 3
The Editor desires to express his great obligations to those friends who have kindly assisted him by placing passages of translation (amounting to nearly half the present issue) at his disposal, and permitting him to make such changes as seemed necessary to secure some approximate unity of manner. Only those, perhaps, who are acquainted with the intricacies of Professor Ewald's style, will appreciate the difficulties of this task. The section on the 'Progress of Science, Poetry, and Literature' under Solomon (vol. iii. pp. 274-286) has been contributed by Dr. Nicholson of Penrith.
The Editor also gladly avails himself of this opportunity to render his most grateful acknowledgments to Russell Martineau, Esq., M.A., whose counsel and aid have been rendered the more valuable by the readiness with which they have invariably been given. To him is due, in particular, the verification of numerous references which were inaccessible to the Editor.
Leeds: September 1871.
Note To The Second Edition Of Vols. III. & IV.
The Translation contained in these volumes has been carefully revised by Mr. Francis H. Jones, B.A., whose diligent scrutiny and exact knowledge have removed many inaccuracies, and brought the English rendering into completer harmony with the spirit of the original work.
Since the first edition was published, Prof. Ewald's volume on Antiquities of Israel (Alterthiimer), so frequently referred to in the notes, has been brought within reach of the English reader in a translation by Mr. H. S. Solly, M.A. As the paging of the original is given in the margin of the translation the references will serve for either. In the Prophets of the Old Testament the references to the English translation by Mr. J. F. Smith, now in course of publication, are added in square brackets so far as it has yet appeared.
