QUOTATION.--"This period has been called the Heroic age of Hebrew
history. It abounds in wild adventure and desperate feats of individual
valor. Personal activity, daring and craft were the qualifications which
raised the judges to their title and eminence. They appear as gallant
insurgents, or guerrilla leaders, rather than as grave administrators of
justice or the regular authorities of a great kingdom." Copy in blank
book.
