Excerpt from The Bible and Rationalism, or Answer to Difficulties, Vol. 2

Josue, and it was a writer posterior to Moses who completed the account of the work commenced by the liberator of the Hebrews and left by him incomplete.

Besides, we must remark that the existence of Deuteronomy, placed between Numbers and the Book Of Josue, renders wholly inadmissible the hypothesis that the first six writings of the Old Testament form only one whole, or, as they say, a Hexateuch. Deuteronomy is an abridgment and a summary Of the Mosaic Law; it forms its conclusion; consequently, it ends it and crowns it, so to speak. That which follows can be only a new work which takes up the thread of the history where the preceding author had left off. If the Hexateuch had ever existed in the sense under stood by Rationalists, Deuteronomy should form, not its fifth, but its sixth part.
