DISABILITIES AND JupEANs.

Trubner, in London. and James Miller, in New
York. have published an extensive work under the
above title. the author being N. G. De Groot. Inc
work is not history Of the Jews as its title seems
to indicate but a critical review. after the manner
OF the German school, of the historical books OF the
Bible. the method OF Coenso having been applied 70

loss to say that the author notes all the discrepancies
which have puzzled biblical students; he mas gone
further. however. and applied to all important
points Of the record the tests which historians EN-
ploy when considering the history of any ancient
people. The conclusions drawn are that all Jewish
history dating further back than the time Of Alex
ander the Great Is q combination Of myths and
mixed traditions; that many individuals whose
deeds recorded in the books Of the Old Testament
existed but that their acts magnihed distorted
by that hero-worshipping spirit peculiar to proud
and exclusive people, that the numerical strength
of the chosen people has been grossly exaggerated.
and the recorded conquests were of very triding
importance compared with what is claimed for
them. Students Of the Old Testament will fnd the
work suggestive. however they may disagree with
its conclusions. and the indignation Of the strictly
orthodox will be tempered by the efforts that the
author makes to Danish tho tormenting Ten Tribes
to the region of myths.
