Excerpt from The Bible Educator, Vol. 3 The object proposed to himself by the author of Kings was the carrying on of_ the Israelitish history from the point to which he found it brought at the close of the' Second Book of Samuel to his own time, in a compendious form, and in the spirit of the earlier sacred writers. He commences his work with the copu lative conjunction and, thereby indicating that it has the character of a continuation.' He then devotes his first section (1 Kings 1 - 11) to the closing years of David, less, however, with the object of com pleting David's history, which he perhaps found com pleted in Samuel,2 than with that of introducing to us the person and history of Solomon, which was what be especially proposed to set before his readersin the first great division of his narrative. That narrative really consists of three main portions A history of Solomon from his association by David to his death (1 Kings i. (2) A history of the parallel king doms of Israel and Judah, down to the extinction of the former (1 Kings xii - 2 Kings xvii.) and (3) a history of the kingdom of-j udah' from the time of the downfall of the sister state to the final destfiiction of the Davidic monarchy by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon (2 Kings xviii.

(Most people have a preconcieved image of Edward VII: a sh...)
Most people have a preconcieved image of Edward VII: a short, stocky man with a distinctive beard, more noted for his lascivious disposition and passion for sports than diplomatic gestures. Like most caricatures, the picture bears an element of truth. This biography of Edward VII however, sets out to show that he was a more successful king than he was given credit for. It seeks to go beyond the myth to present a picture of Edward as both monarch and family man. The book covers his years as Prince of Wales, the strictly regimented upbringing, the death of Prince Albert and the scandals resulting from his private affairs. This leads on to coverage of his years as king. While the book looks at aspects of Edward VII's constitutional life as king, it is primarily a study of the man whose personal impact on society was of paramount importance in the establishing of an era. His marriage to the highly influential Alexandra is also re-examined as a partnership of enduring affection which withstood all his womanizing and also challenged accepted ideas of child-raising. The golden age of the country-house party, sporting celebrations and diplomatic pursuits are captured in early photographs.
