THE HIGHER CRITICISM.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir.—ln connection with this persistent topic of " Higher Criticism "I beg to submit that I think Mr. Allen in his "reply" has hardly done justice to the late distinguished Dr. Franz Delitzsch, latterly one of the greatest Berlin Oriental scholars and divines that Germany has produced. At page 43 of his pamphlet Mr. Allen says :— Eichhorii, De Wette, Evvald, etc., admit that it" —the Pentateuch—" is of the age of Moses ; Delitzsch believes it was written soon after the chosen people entered the Promised Land." In point of fact, Delitzsch believes that Moses was the immediate author of Deuteronomy ; and that the materials of the rest of the Pentateuch are undoubtedly Mosaic, having been composed in the first period of settlement in the Land of Promise; and by inspired eyewitnesses of the events in the wilderness.— am, etc., A. Carrick.
