The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua critically examined. [Part I. The Pentateuch examined as an historical narrative.]
Editore: New York: 1863., D. Appleton and Company,, 1863
Hardcover. 229 p.; 20.5 cm. [Reset from London 1862 edition] In Chapter V. Moses and Joshua addressing all Israel: `For, surely, no human voice, unless strengthened by a miracle of which the Scripture tells us nothing, could have reached the ears of a crowded mass of people, as large as the whole population of London.' (p. 83) -- `Colenso's work on the Old Testament is almost invariably described as negative, hurried and not particularly valuable. This is a misleading judgment. The truth of the matter is that his books reflect precisely the pilgrimage of the bishop himself. He began as a fundamentalist with doubts--that is to say he subscribed to the conventional view of the day, but he was not entirely happy about it. When challenged he was forced to consider the matter thoroughly. He became convinced that the Bible could not be verbally inerrant. For reasons which seemed good to him, he believed that he ought not to hide his opinions. The first part of his work was, therefore, published immediately. The later, more constructive and positive contribution which he had to make was something of an anti-climax and was more or less disregarded. This was not his fault. A purely academic personage might have kept the whole thing till it could be published together. Colenso felt that a missionary bishop could not do this. Once he had ceased to be a fundamentalist he published his reasons, however negative, at once. His opinions came as a shock even to his closest friends and colleagues.' (Hinchliff, John William Colenso, p. 85) -- [Parts II to VII followed until 1879.] VG orig. plain morocco-grain brown cloth.

Manoscritto / Collezionismo cartaceo
See Jacob s entry, and Colenso s, in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. Addressed to The / Revd. R. Wilkins . The letter (clearly a circular addressed to members of the English Church Union) begins without salutation: If you could raise even a few pounds in your branch it would be a great help towards undoing the mischief which the defection of the Chief Pastor of teh Church in Natal has caused, & would be a great encouragement to the colonists in any future attempt to provide for the two [large?] neglected districts still unrepresented by the Church. Please accept this as my excuse for troubling you - / And / Believe me / faithfully yours / Edgar Jacob. In a postscript Jacob apologizes for being unable owing to press of work to write to you before leaving Oxford. He then gives a list of seven subscribers, headed by The Bishop of Oxford (a pound) and The Chancellor of the Exchequer (five guineas). Beneath this list, at the foot of the second page, is a list in what is probably Wilkins hand, of four individual contributions totaling £3 1s 6d, from the Exeter Branch E. C. U. &c &c .
