Oxford-educated rector A. T. S. Goodrick (1856-1914) published this edition of the Book of Wisdom, one of the deuterocanonical books of the Bible, in 1913. His English translation, using Henry Barclay Swete's text, includes an extensive introduction and remains relevant to readers interested in Old Testament exegesis.
