TESTIMONIALS.
From Rev. j. L. Hodge, d. d., (BapfiaO Brooklyn,
NeD York.
In my judgment, the unabridged Concordance of
Cruden stands uurvalled in what it processes to be
and do.
From Rev Professor Goodrich, d. d., of Yale CAL
legs, Neao HaU4n.
Ihave made use of Crudcn's Concordance for many
years and have always regarded it as a monument
Of industry and indispensable assistance, in its
complete form, to tho study of tho Word Of God.
From ReU. NJ W. JzcobUs, ID. d., Of the THaoloei-
cal Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pa.
No topical arrangement OF passages, however COM
pete and useful in its way answer the same pur
pose. 1t is, indeed self interpreting Fible Such
a verbal Concordance Cruden has produced. is
more needfuI to the Bible student than the dic,ion
airy to a common reader.
From. Req. Vim. Spragae, d. D., (Pyeslyt@ian)
ADany.
It has been the companion of my whole life, both
theological student and minister; and it is the
last book with the exception of the Bible itself that
would consent to have pass out of my hands
From Req. Thomas De Wit, d. d., (Duah Refo,na-
ed,) Ns4c York City.
II is invaluable to the biblical student, and the
abridgments which have been made of it furnish no
idea of the horoughness and funess Of the original
and complete WORK. 0ther,works, such Gaston's
Collection" Scripture Manual" Analysis Of the
Bible" &c. have their special excellence and uses,
but can never supply the place of the original Cru
dens Concordance.
From Rec BisAo,, James, d. D., (A1,tlo7ist EOisoo-
pol Chwoh) Ne1o York City.
No book has aided Inc more in the study Of Gods
Word-enabiing ne to compare Scripture with Scrip
ture and interpret Scripture by Scripture L behave
its usefulness both to laymen and ministers can hard
ly be overratod.
From Req. J. 3. Condit d. d., If Lime THeologieqI
Seminary, Cincinnati Ohio
have used it more than twenty years with a
growing estimate OF its value. In its complete form,
as published by Mr.. Dodd, would earnestly com.
mend it as the book that should find place in eve
ry family by the side Of the Bible.
From Req. l. s. Spencer, d. d. (PyesJgtcyiunJ
Brooklyn, ~ 4.
Crudcn S Concordance is in my opinion 0IlogcffSr
superior to any work Of tho kind I do not believe
that any compendium, arrangement, or analysis of
the Sacred Scriptures that has ever been Published
is well calculated this to be of assistance to all
students Of the Word of God.
From Rt. Rev. Bishop 1IcHpaine d. d., (Eyisco-
Pak) Ohio
No English Concordance can take its place or Go !
without IT. 1t is equally precious to the minister Of
tho Word and the earnest reader Of the Scriptures
Of any sort or condition Of men.
From Reu AH6yt Barnes (Prcs5tteyiaaO Phi

From Rec. Jorl Po,hsr, D. d., (PyesJytvianJ Nan

1t is worth more than ali the other books of refer
ence combined for aiding in the study of the Sacred
Scriptures. = Every Sunday School teach
err every family, and every young person who has
not easy access to it in the family of which lac is a
part ought to have Cruden standing beside the Bible
upon his table.
From Rec. Dasta S. D0g2ett, d. d. (lIothoaitJ
BID SOWt/terH Meth. Quarterly ReUietr
I regard Cruien's Complete Concordance to tho
Holy Scriptures incompaTably superior TO every
work OF the kind that has appeared.
Besides furnishing the very best Interpretation of the
Sacred Writings, it is also Commentary and Die
onary of the Bible, of the highest utility to every
student of the Word of God.
