Excerpt from Hannah, the Mother of Samuel the Prophet and Judge of Israel: A Sacred Drama

One object of them is to exemplify the compo sitiou and style of the early Hebrew Scriptures, as remarkably adapted to produce a dramatic effect. Any careful reader of the First Book of Samuel, for instance, will observe a succession of narratives, all connected in the while history, each being a sequel to the preceding, each serving for the basis of a drama, and having its distinctive circumstances, and separate unity. The patience and the reward of Hannah's trust in god are the subject of the first, perhaps the least interesting.
