Overview

Excerpt from The Poetry of the Hebrew Pentateuch: Being Four Essays on Moses and the Mosaic Age I appreciate a certain jeu d'esprit, which is ascribed to George III., said to have been spontaneous, on the occasion when a copy Of Bishop Jewell's 'apology for the Church of England' was presented to his Majesty. The story circulates that when the king Opened the volume, and read its title-page, he ex claimed in his usual thrice-told, emphatic, curt manner, An Apology for the Church Of England! An Apology for the Church Of England! An Apology for the Church Of England The Church of England needs no Apology! The Church Of England needs no Apology! The Church Of England needs no Apology l I I fully admit'the justice of the reiterated royal sentiment. It applies with threefold force to the theme which I have set before myself to discuss in this and subsequent disquisitions. Nevertheless, I hold the somewhat paradoxical Opinion that the first Of a series of Essays, on the Poetry Of the Hebrew Pentateuch, ought to deal in a sort Of an apology.
