Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proverbs and Didactic Poems The omission of Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon is a matter of regret, but, although a chapter of the Introduction is given to Sirach, it is unlikely that Professor Kent intended to include these books in the volume. He left no manuscript of either, while the canonical books had been worked upon again and again. In passing on to Doctor Kent's friends and readers this concluding volume of the series which is perhaps the most important of all his literary achieve ments, I wish to express my gratitude to Mrs. Kent for the honor of being given this share in the work of my lamented teacher and friend. Like many other young men, I owed Professor Kent a personal debt far greater than I could ever repay or express. Not only did I have the privilege of working with him; he also brought me into the goodly fellowship to which, with Mrs. Kent's approval, I have ventured to dedicate this volume.
