For more than thirty years he was indefatigable in improving the successive editions of the Grammar. The German translation of the Old Testament first published by him in 1894, with the co-operation of other scholars, under the title, and now (1910) in the third and much enlarged edition, is a valuable work which has been widely appreciated: the , edited by him in 1900, is another important work: besides which he published his in 1884, two useful brochures  in 1900, and  in 1903, six popular lectures on  in 1902, his article 'Religion of Israel' in Hastings' , v. (1904), pp. 612-734, not to mention minor publications. His death is a serious loss to Biblical scholarship, while to me and to many others it is the loss of a most kindly friend, remarkable alike for his simple piety and his enthusiasm for learning.
