Pamphlet. [2], 9 p. (closely set.in quarto format); 20.5 cm. `It is hard, at least on first impressions, to avoid a feeling of disappointment at the apparent contrast between Isaiah, Amos, Jeremiah and other OT giants and the showing put up by the christian prophets strictly so-called.

Justice is possible only among men of goodwill.' Good, stapled, in orig. red on tan wrapper.…
