COMMUNICATIVE Commentary
OF Jamison, Fausset and Brown on
the Old and New Testament Is re-
markab!e for the vast amount of
knowledge and light that the authors
have been enabled, by patient study
and diligent research, to present in
the work. In the preparation OF
this book, the writings OF nearly all
writers upon scripture have been ex.
amined, compared and their com.
bincd knowledge succinctly placed
in this one volume. A large part Of
the American clergy, including Blsh.
ops and Doctors OF Divinity, have
endorsed the work, which will be
found thoroughly evangelical, and
almost indispensable to Sabbath
School Teachers. Jones Brothers &
Co., 1873 w. Madison ST., Chicago,

DIR. wM. SMITHS HISTORY or THE BIBLE,
from the creation of the world TO the
Apostolic Era. The authors name
is SO familiar, and his writings SO
well known, that comment from us
is wholly unnecessary. In addition
to this will be found history of the
Jews, of the dispersion, from the
taking OF Jerusalem down to the
present time. Both TN csc works are
copiously illustrated with fine en-
cravings, printed on a superior quail
lty of paper, in nice clear type and
nbstanilally bound. es
The Commentary has been exam
ined by two OF Toledo's ministers,
whose endorsements Of the Same are
subjoined !:
The Commentary Of Jameson
Fansset s. Brown, is an excellent
work, judiclous, sound aud we'll
adapted to meet an obvious want OF
the people at the present time, espc.
ciailY the Sunday School teacher and
scholar. Tho Old Commentaries OF
the entire Bible are too large and ex-
pensive for comno use.
We needed popular Commenta-
ry OF thorough scholarship, which
should give the reader, just enough
OF the circumstances and general
scope OF the text, as TO enable him
to comprehend it.
It is commended by the ablcst
critics and divlncs. Such as Phillip
Schaff, D. D. Bishop McAlvaine,
D. D. II. w. Beecher, c.. II. Spur
geon, Rev Charles Hoge, D. d.
Rev. J. II. Vincent d. D. and many
others.
