Excerpt from Lovers Three Thousand Years Ago: As Indicated by the Song of Solomon HE author of this little book does not claim to have just dis covered that the Song of Solomon is a love-story in verse. That was suggested by Bible-scholars many years ago, and it has been very generally accepted by the scholarship of today. But in all the literature upon the subject, whether in the form of mono graphs, or of articles in magazines, or reviews, or encyclopaedias, there is not found a single presentation of it in a form which would allow it to be read in its real character. These discussions are all in the form of critical expositions of the text, so that in most of them the text appears only in fragments. The plan of this book is to eliminate all textual criticism and to restore the text to the form which made the poem a treasure with the ancient Hebrews, and which, when thus read, will make it as dear to every true lover to day as it was when first read and recited three thousand years ago.
