Synopsis

Excerpt from The Samaritans: Their Testimony to the Religion of Israel, Being the Alexander Robertson Lectures, Delivered, Before the University of Glasgow in 1916

For assistance in correcting proof, the writer would return thanks to the Rev. Dr James Robertson, Professor emeritus of Oriental Languages, Glasgow University; Rev. Dr James Kennedy, Librarian, New College, Edinburgh; Dr John Hutchison, Rector emeritus, Glasgow High School; Rev. Dr Charles Jerdan, Greenock, Senior Clerk, u.b.c. General Assembly. He has further to thank the Rev. W. B. R. Wilson, Dollar, for compiling an index, and E. Russell, Esq, for general suggestions. The writer would also acknowledge the kindness of Professor W. B. Stevenson in bringing to his notice not a few facts and authorities, which might otherwise have escaped him; to Professor A. R. S. Kennedy for assistance in books; and to Dr Cowley, Oxford, for kind answers to inquiries in regard to matters, authoritative information on which was not open to the writer. He would express his gratitude to Dr Rendel Harris and to his friend the Rev. J. C. Nicol, m.a., Eccles, for information as to the Samaritan codices in the Rylands Library, Manchester. The kindness of the librarians of the Universities Of Glasgow and Edinbtirgh, and Of New College, Edinburgh, must not be forgotten. Above all he would tender his thanks to his wife for her assistance in preparing the manuscript for the Press.

In regard to books, the writer would acknowledge his indebtedness to Dr Montgomery's Samaritans, especially to the copious list Of literature appended to various articles of Dr Cowley, and to Dr Mill's Modern Samaritans.
