Book Description

Excerpt from A Logical Analysis of the Epistle of Paul to the Romans I had not been long on the Council of the Wodrow Society till I brought the book under the notice of that body, and urged the desirableness of their issuing a translation of it as part of their series. After some delay, my wishes were acceded to, and the duty of procuring a translation and editing it was devolved upon me. Unable to find time to execute the translation myself, I was fortunate in securing the services of a gentleman in whose exact scholarship and general fitness for the task I had perfect confidence. The principles which have guided Mr Skae in making his translation I leave the reader to gather from his own statement; I have only to say, that having carefully revised every sheet as it passed through the press, I issue the translation unaltered, as it proceeded from Mr Skae, with the utmost confidence that it will meet the approbation of all competent judges. On the merits of the work itself I will not enlarge. I believe it will be found to deserve all I have said of it, and will be hailed by students of scripture as a valuable addition to their helps for ascertaining the meaning and connection of the Apostles words in that all-important part of his writings to which it is devoted. I anticipate on all hands an accordance in the eulogy pronounced upon it by Principal Adamson, when he calls it "eruditionis, pietatis et exacti judicii plenam."
