"It is well suited to furnish the common mind with the best results of historical study and research upon this portion of the Scriptures, and with practical thoughts and reflections of great value. The getting up of the book is admirable; the typography is a model of skill, and just the thing for the purpose." REV. S. G. BUCKINGHAM, D. D., Springfield, Mass. "It is elegantly got up. The notes are necessarily brief, but they are truly helps. The practical thoughts are excellent; they have some scope, and are suggestive. I hope you will go on and finish the whole Bible." REV. Z. S. BARSTOW, D. D., Keene, N. H. "It is not like a kernel of wheat in a bushel of chaff, but like 'apples of gold in a net-work of silver.'" REV. J. H. THAYER, Prof. Sacred Literature, Andover, Mass. "A very beautiful book it is, with its chronological harmony, index, and map,-quite a model of completeness. I think it cannot but contribute to cause the Word of God to have free course and be glorified." REV. S. W. HANKS, Secretary Am. Seamen's Friend Soc., Boston. "It is adinirably adapted for use by Sabbath-school teachers and in families. The cream of the fuller commentaries is collected for the ready use of those who desire tne sincere ilk of the Word for their spiritual nourishment." REV. C. E. FISHER, Lawrence, Mass. "I commend it to the confidence of all Bible readers as a critical, faithful, condensed, and valuable help to the study of God's Word.” REV. W. F. SNOW, Lawrence, Mass. "Considering its limited size, it comes nearest my ideal of a Commentary for popular use, of any which I have met." REV. THOMAS WICKES, D. D., Jamestown, N. Y. "I esteem it a valuable addition to the existing aids for the study of the Scriptures, meeting the wants of that very large class in our churches who require an inexpensive Commentary, which at the same time contains a great deal, and within a brief compass presents those explanations of the text which are most needed." REV. S. G. WILLARD, Colchester, Ct. "It more than answers my expectations. Concise, clear, telling just what the common reader desires to know, giving results, but omitting the painful process, it must be a treasure to that large class who have neither time to use, nor money to buy extended commentaries." REV. P. B. DAVIS, Canton, Mass. "I know not where else, in so small a space, so much of exegetical value can be found." 3 |
