Review.
The reader will see that a princess of the House of Judah is made a granddaughter of Jeremiah of the House of Levi . But could a Levite marry out of the tribe of Levi ] It is more than doubtful . Then , again , wdio was this niece of
Zeciekiah , granddaughter of Jeremiah of Libnah 1 What is her name ? Where is any mention made of her ? And how could she be at the same time niece of Zedekiah and grand-daughter of Jeremiah , of Libnah ? While then , for some
, who seem to harp on this , in our opinion , an unreal and unreliable hypothesis , the book may have interest , we confess that to us it appears utterly irreconcileable with and antagonistic to all that we ourselves so far have mastered
, whether in history , philology , or ethnology . We cannot accept Bro . Peilden ' s conclusion ( we believe he is a brother of our order ) , though we are quite free to admit that the writer is evidently a believer in his own words ( which in these days is something ) ,
and that he has put forth his book fully persuaded of the importance of his discovery , and the validity of his argument . And while we seek to do full justice to the evident serious sincerity of his views , we regret to have to reject them absolutely as in utter and startling disagreement with every known canon of historical accuracy or ethnological research .
