Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

The Wisdom of Solomon: In the Revised Version With Introduction and Notes (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The Wisdom of Solomon: In the Revised Versio...)
Excerpt from The Wisdom of Solomon: In the Revised Version With Introduction and Notes The present General Editor for the Old Testament in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges desires to say that, in accordance with the policy of his predecessor the Bishop of Worcester, he does not hold himself responsible for the particular interpretations adopted or for the opinions expressed by the editors of the several Books, nor has he endeavoured to bring them into agreement with one another. It is inevitable that there should be differences of opinion in regard to many questions of criticism and interpretation, and it seems best that these differences should find free expression in different volumes. He has endeavoured to secure, as far as possible, that the general scope and character of the series should be observed, and that views which have a reasonable claim to consideration should not be ignored, but he has felt it best that the final responsibility should, in general, rest with the individual contributors.

John Gregg
Edit Profile
Education
Christ"s College; Bedford School.
Career
He was also a theologian and historian. J A F Gregg went on to be a notable church historian. He served as assistant curate of Ballymena under Charles d"Arcy 1896–1899, then as Curate at Cork Cathedral (1899–1906), and as Rector of Blackrock, Company
Cork (1906–1911), before being appointed in 1911 Professor of Divinity in Trinity College, Dublin.
In 1915 he became Bishop of Ossory, Ferns and Leighlin, in 1920 Archbishop of Dublin. He was elected to Armagh in 1938, but refused the position largely on account of his wife"s health, and Godfrey Day, Bishop of Ossory, was elected in his place.
Following Day"s death in 1939, Gregg was again elected Archbishop of Armagh which post he held until his retirement in 1959. He was a supporter of the old Unionist order but encouraged his flock to make their peace with the post-1922 political realities in Ireland.
According to R. B. McDowell – Gregg"s bearing suggested a prince of the church or at least a prelate of the establishment.. he was a scholar and a man of affairs, his administrative flair being reinforced by dignity, decisiveness, and a sardonic wit.
His theological sympathies were high church, though he had been brought up an evangelical and had an Anglo-Irish distaste for ceremonial exuberance.
