Messianic Prophecies

From the intro: When, at the earnest solicitation of my friend Professor Curtiss, I consented that he should translate my lectures on the Messianic Prophecies, held in the Winter of 1879-1880, as a basis for his instruction, I was compelled to refer him to the notes of one of my students, since the course received its present form in the process of delivery. Hence I beg those, into whose hands these pages may fall, to remember that much bears the accidental impress of the moment and that the whole is only made public at the urgent request of a friend.
