Excerpt from Jerusalem Under the High-Priests: Five Lectures on the Period, Between Nehemiah and the New Testament
The Lectures in this book were composed for popular audiences in connection with the Bath and Wells Diocesan Society for Higher Religious Education, and it is not their object to produce what the professed historical student would regard as new results, but to give in a few strokes the general outline and colour of a period which must surely have an interest for everybody who finds any interest in the Bible. Any one who should come to a book of this sort for the elucidation of obscure problems or matters of controversy would certainly be disappointed; it is on such points indeed that a work intended for students would chiefly fix its scrutiny; it has been my principle to neglect them, and try rather to show in a connected sketch what is plain and assured. Many omissions which in a set history of the period would be unpardonable will strike any specialist into whose hands the book may fall.
