ter--H has a critical, Introduction to each Book
Of ofScripture, and ts 6y far ute most Practical,
SuGgesttte scientific and Popular Work Of The

1t has advantages over any other similar
work, in the following important particulars;
1st. IT'S THoRouGHNEss
2nd. ITS MoDERNNEss
3rd. IT'S CoMPAcTNEss. The work is pub
lished in one volume which Is n convenience.
There are no blank spaces, nor is the book fill
ed up with unnecessary portions of the text
1t is what its purports to bed Commentary,
not Bible. "It is literally packed" says
Dr. Wiley, "full of good things"
4th. ITS BREvITY. DR.. Smith, Editor Chi
cago Standard, says, g have in several in
stances seen n sermon in sentence"
5th. IT'S Liberal SPIRIT. 1t is more unsec-
tartan than any other Commentary. Rev. w.
l.. Gage, of Hartford, says, "The names of
the authors are sufficient guaranty against
any UNCONVENTIONAL traits in it.o
9th. It's SCRIPTURAI REFERENCES.
9TH. ITS ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS. These
are larger, better, and more numerous than can
be found in any other book of this kind;
Sth. IT'S CHEAPNEss. No Commentary of its
size and merit was ever sold for anything like
the price.
The unqualified Communications of this Com
mentary, from the highest sources, together
with its already extensive and rapidly increas-
ing sale, have given it position in the reli-
gious world superior to that of any similar
work.
We give few of the many testimonials Civ
en- in praise of this most valuable work:
Rev. James McCosh, D. D., President of
D-s.. I-I1u i, fnr
iudlcious and emnently fitted to be useful, alike
to pastor and people.
Rev. Joseph Cummings, d. d. L. L. D. Pres.
Wesleyan University, says: MY first favOra-
bic impressions of the great merits of your
Commentary have been confirmed upon further
examinations. 1t presents in a clear and di-
rect manner the most authoritative view of the
meaning of the Scriptures.
Rev. c. D. HARTRANFT, Pastor of I'd Re-
formed Church, New Brunswick, Md, says:
" l deem 1t particularly useful for the ordinary
reader of the Bible, still more for the Sabbath
School Teacher. and it would be a most agreea-
bic companion in Family Devotional Exercises,
that are so often aimless because of the effort
to awaken feeling without stimulating knowl-
edge. course of Scripture reading through
this Commentary will promote interest in the
truth, by promoting the apprehensions of its
meaning"
Prof. CALVIN L. STOWE, d. D., Hartford,
Conn, says: 81 like it better than any work
of the kind l have yet seem"
Rev. j. G. BoDwELL, Prof. In Hartford The
illogical Seminary, says 81 have examined
carefully, and with constantly increasing sat-
isfaction, this new aud Comprehensive Com
mentary. 1t has been most pleasant sur
prise to me to find in so moderate compass so
large an amount of scholarship, and of full,
sound Interpretation, combined with so much
of practical wisdom. Sabbath school teachers
will welcome 1t as most valuable addition to
whatever other Commentaries they may pos
sess.''
Rev. A. w. DECKER, Pastor NJ. e. c., New
Bloomfield, Pa, says: 81 feel fully persuaded in
my own mind of its intrinsic value, it being so
concise and cheap, tha- IL meets the wants of a
greater number, than any Commentary pub
lished. IL Is Just Tie thing for SuperintsndentS
and Teachers Of Sunday Schools aud all who
wish correct knowledge of the Bible" S-sIsA
Rev. John Edgar, A. NJ, Pastor Pres. CHI,
N. Bloomfield, says: 81 am often asked to name
q Commentary on the Word of God, more
modern and more brief than Scott, Henry, &c.,
and always recommend the above, if Com
mentary is wanted on the whole Bible Families
teachers, and s. s. superintendents, often find
1t too much to buy separate works on the diff
terent books of Scripture. To such woul d
say here Is good acork on ALL combined"
Rev. P. sHEEDER, Pastor Ey. Luth. Church,
New Bloomfield, says, So far as my limited
knowledge of the Commentary goes, 1t forces
the conviction on my mind that 1t is of more
than ordinary value. II will be of great bene-
fit to the minister in his responsible work, and
of special interest and benefit to the family and
individuals"
