REV. DR. MARCUS DODS, in _The British Weekly_, says: "That criticism so keen and so well principled should co-exist with a historical sense so fully developed as Mr. Smith's, is perhaps not so wonderful as that both these high and useful faculties should seem not to overwhelm and smother, but rather to stimulate and find opportunity for the faculty of dramatic presentation, for the magical English style, and, above all, for the singular spiritual insight which this volume exhibits."

REV. DR. BEET says: "The first volume of Smith's _Isaiah_ took us all by surprise, and revealed the advent of an expositor of the first rank. The high standard thus set up is fully maintained in the second volume. Indeed, as dealing with more difficult topics it increases greatly our respect for the author. We have accurate Hebrew scholarship, keen insight into the life and thought of Isaiah's day, and devout appreciation of the abiding spiritual worth of this ancient prophecy presented in a form intelligible and attractive to all."

THE RECORD. "Mr. Smith is a sound and thoroughly capable Hebrew scholar, and he has written in these volumes an exposition of Isaiah which every scholarly teacher and every conscientious expounder of the evangelical prophet, even though he may differ from Mr. Smith upon occasion, ought to possess."

THE ACADEMY. "It is needless to mention the literary merits which in reviews of the first volume of this work were so abundantly recognised. This is, indeed, one of the few theological books which it is a pure pleasure to read; nor need one, in the case of the present volume, add the qualifying remark that the homiletical element is somewhat unduly large. The scholarship too, is still as accurate as might be expected from Mr. Smith's excellent training."

THE INDEPENDENT: "It is in every way a notable book, and will even add to the now established reputation of its author among Old Testament students. The two volumes taken together constitute one of the most successful attempts ever made to expound an Old Testament book in the light of modern research. Mr. Smith has here shown something of the power of criticism to do constructive work, and has made it abundantly evident that some, at least, of the recent critical results may be used with most illuminating and inspiring effect."
