THE GOSPEL IN THE LAW; A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE CITATIONS BY CHARLES TAYLOR, M.A., FELLOW OF ST JOHN'S COLlege, AND CURATE OF ST ANDREW'S THE GREAT, CAMBRidge. CAMBRIDGE: LONDON: BELL AND DALDY. 1869. 101. e. 196. PREFACE. THIS work purports not to exhaust the deep subject of Citation from the Old Testament in the New, but to deal, in a manner more or less intelligible to the general reader, with select citations of pronounced critical and theological interest. I am sensible that not a few of the questions herein discussed are, and must remain, inconclusively dealt with, owing to their intrinsic difficulty: some of the earlier chapters in particular leave ample room for renewed investigation: while, of points discussed later, the Symbolism of Sacrifice has been dismissed with less of elaboration than I could have desired. Of works on the Citations Mr Grinfield gives a list in his Apology for the Septuagint, pp. 142 sqq. Certain of the treatises there mentioned, and, in addition, those of Surenhusius, Gough, and Turpie have been consulted. I have made much use of Hengstenberg's Christo logy: more of Kidder's Demonstration of the Messias. I am further indebted to the labours of Poole (ed. 166976), Rosenmüller, Gesenius, Bengel, Alford, and Wordsworth: not to mention the Concordances of Tromm, Fürst, and Bruder; the Grammar of Winer; with various special commentaries and other works of less generality referred to in due place. Lastly, my best thanks are due to my friends who have revised the proof sheets; and to the Reverend the Master of Jesus College for several valuable suggestions received from him while those sheets were passing through the press.
