BIBLIOGRAPHY.

This list is not intended for scholars, but for those readers who desire a further systematic introduction to the general subject. It is merely suggestive; and makes no pretension to exhaustiveness. The works named can be found in public libraries, or can be purchased through booksellers. Lists, prices, etc., will be promptly furnished by Brentano's Bookstore, New York City.

A careful account of the beginnings and development of sociology will be found in SMALL AND VINCENT, An Introduction to the Study of Society. In connection with this the following handbooks may be taken up. SPENCER, The Study of Sociology. FAIRBANKS, An Introduction to Sociology. WARD, Outlines of Sociology. GIDDINGS, The Theory of Socialization. IDEM, The Elements of Sociology. No exact order can be given in which these, and books to be named below, should be taken up. The reader should not limit himself to any one work; but should use as many as possible, seeking a well rounded view. From these works the reader should pass to larger treatises: SPENCER, The Principles of Sociology. WARD, Dynamic Sociology. IDEM, The Psychic Factors of Civilization. Ross, Social Control. On the political phase of society see, in the following order: WILSON, The State, or Elements of Historical and Practical Politics. WILLOUGHBY, The Nature of the State. BLUNTSCHLI, Theory of the State. On the economic phase of society, see the introductions by ELY and by BULLOCK, and the larger works by HADLEY and by MARSHALL. On the domestic phase of society, see STARCKE, The Primitive Family. WESTERMARCKE, History of Human Marriage.

Attention to the evidences for the evolution of mankind should precede further historical study of society. For this use: CLODD, A Primer of Evolution. ROMANES, Darwin and after Darwin. CONN, Evolution of Today. MORRIS, Man and His Ancestor.

Passing to the prehistoric age of society; the following books will be found of service: CLODD, The Story of Primitive Man. LUBBOCK, Prehistoric Times. IDEM, The Origin of Civilization. KEARY, The Dawn of History. TYLOR, The Early History of Mankind.

Turning away from prehistoric society toward historic times, use: MORGAN, Ancient Society. MAINE, Ancient Law. IDEM, Early History of Institutions. IDEM, Early Law and Custom.

In taking up the earliest of the great historic circles of communities, the two handbooks following will be found useful: GOODSPEED, History of the Babylonians and Assyrians. BREASTED, History of the Egyptians. These should be followed by: MASPERO, Life in Ancient Egypt and Assyria. ERMAN, Life in Ancient Egypt. SAYCE, Babylonians and Assyrians, Their Life and Customs. Reverting to the more strictly historical treatment, the following larger works may now be studied: MASPERO, The Dawn of Civilization. IDEM, The Struggle of the Nations.

IDEM, The Passing of the Empires. ROGERS, History of Babylonia and Assyria.

Before taking up the study of Israel's history and religion, it is necessary to consider the origin and earlier development of religion in general. The following books will serve as a good introduction; and perhaps the order given is as good as any. ALLEN, The Evolution of the Idea of God. The special chapters on the religion of Israel and Christianity in this work are insufficient, and may be passed over; but the general treatment is good. FISKE, The Idea of God. CLODD, The Childhood of Religions. BRACE, The Unknown God. BRINTON, The Religions of Primitive Peoples. KEARY, Outlines of Primitive Belief. MENZIES, History of Religion. GEDEN, Studies in Comparative Religion. ROBERTSON SMITH, The Religion of the Semites. BARTON, Semitic Origins, social and religious.

The last two books in the preceding paragraph directly introduce the general subject of the early religion of Israel. This is further treated in: BUDDE, The Religion of Israel to the Exile. MONTEFIORE, The Religion of the Ancient Hebrews.

By way of introduction to the history of Israel, use G. A. SMITH, Historical Geography of Palestine. PATON, Early History of Syria and Palestine. FISKE, The Myths of Israel. RYLE, The Early Narratives of Genesis. GUNKEL, The Legends of Genesis. ROBERTSON SMITH, The Old Testament in the Jewish Church. RYLE, The Canon of the Old Testament. ment.

DRIVER, An Introduction to the Literature of the Old TestaThe entire history is taken up in brief in: WELLHAUSEN, History of Judah and Israel. CORNIL, History of the People of Israel. At greater length in: KENT, History of the Hebrew People. IDEM, History of the Jewish People. MCCURDY, History, Prophecy, and the Monuments. See also G. F. MOORE, Commentary on Judges, for material on social conditions. H. P. SMITH, Commentary on Samuel. A late modern translation of the Bible should be used in connection with these works. For general reference, CHEYNE AND BLACK, Encyclopedia Biblica. HASTINGS, Bible Dictionary.

The above works will furnish an introductory view of the vital subject of prophecy in its relations to Israel's history. But a more special study of the prophets is necessary. For this, begin with CORNIL, The Prophets of Israel. A more detailed treatment is found in KIRKPATRICK, The Doctrine of the Prophets. This should be followed by ROBERTSON SMITH, The Prophets of Israel (Cheyne's ed.). G. A. SMITH, The Book of the Twelve Prophets. For individual prophets: DRIVER, Isaiah, His Life and Times. CHEYNE, Introduction to the Book of Isaiah. G. A. SMITH, The Book of Isaiah.
