Excerpt from The Song of Songs: Edited as a Dramatic Poem, With Introduction, Revised, Translation and Excursuses Those readers who are already familiar with the subject will observe that 1 have not been able to adopt the modem views as to the interpretation of the poem propounded by Karl Budde and others. I trust that the careful examination of these views in my text will shew that they have not been rejected without duo consideration, or without strong reasons being adduced why I cannot feel convinced by them. But the study of all alternative schemes has only strengthened my conviction, that the true interpretation is in the main that of Ewald, as modified by S. Oettli. Although I differ from the latter in some particulars, I consider his commentary, as a whole, by far the best of those I have consulted, and it has been of great use to me. I am conscious that the aims which I set before myself when I planned this work were not easy to realise. I wish my readers not only to understand the Song, but to enjoy it. I have striven to bring out, as closely and yet as vividly as I could, its force and significance as a piece of ancient literature. That must be the primary aim of every editor. But I wish, even more, to impart to my readers some at least of the delight which I have felt in the study of this masterpiece of loveliness; some of the joy which caused its first editor to style it the best Song of all. And I have also endeavoured to observe in my treatment of the subject tho restraint and the reverence which ought to be the attitude of a writer who is treating, from any point of view, a portion of tho Sacred Canon. If, notwithstanding the imperfections of the execution, I have to any extent achieved these aims, I may perhaps be justified in hoping that I have made a little contribution to Sacred Science. In tabernaculo Dei offert unusquisque quod potest. Alii aurum, argentum, et lapides pretiosos, alii byssam, et purpuram, et coccum offerent, et hyacinthum. Nobiscum bene agctur si obtulerimus pelles et caprarum pilos (Hieron. Prologue Galeatus). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Song of Songs: Edited as a Dramatic Poem, With Introduction, Revised, Translation and Excursuses I should be indeed ungrateful if I failed to express to the Governors of the John Rylands Library, Manchester, and to their Library Staff, my acknowledgments for the splendid hospitality they extend to students. Much of the preparation for this book has been made in that beautiful building, and I do not know how I could have accomplished it had I not had access to the valuable contents of its shelves. Only those who are able to use this Library know how valuable it is, and how courteous and helpful are those in charge of it. Lastly, I should like to express my thanks to the Staff of the Cambridge University Press for the great care and pains spent on passing the sheets through the press.
