James Drummond Jewish Messiah

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I thought this practice would seem pedantic, and have therefore conformed to the usual spelling. In quoting Biblical passages I have generally followed the Authorised Version, unless some critical reason con nected with the subject under discussion required a departure from it. In translating the numerous extracts from non-biblical works, I have studied accuracy rather than elegance. These extracts are so c0pious, because the manner in which the thought is expressed is quite as important as the thought itself, and by reading the very words of these ancient writings we are brought into closer contact with the mental condition to which the Messianic doctrine appealed, and in which it found its nutriment and strength.
