Notes

Despite being favored by God, the Jews of ancient times are dismissed by the author as "an exceedingly rude and uncultivated people. When contrasted with the nations about them, they were noted for their ingenuity and advancement in the arts; and yet they must be regarded as a semi-barbarous nation" (pp. 68-69).
