Suggestive, Scientific ana Popular Work Of h,
Kind In the English Language
1t has advantages over any other similar
work, in the following important particulars
1st. IT'S THoRoUGHNEss;
| 2nd. ITS MopERNNEss
3rd. ITS CoMPAoTNEss. The work is pub
| lished In one volume which is a 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. cit is literally packed" says
DR.. Wiley, full of good things"
4th. ITS BREvITY. DR.. Smith, Editor Chi
cago Standard, says, "I have in several in
stances seen sermon in sentence"
5th. IT'S Liberal SPIRIT. 1t is more unsec
tartan than any other Commentary. Rev. w
i. Gage, of Hartford, says, "The names o
the authors are sufficient guaranty against
any denominational traits in it,"
9th. IT'S soRIPTURAL REFERENCES.
9TH. IT'S ILLUsTRATIoNs AND MAPS. These
are larger, better, and more numerous than can
be found in any other book of this kind;
sth. ITS CHEAPNEss. No Commentary of its
size and merit was ever sold for anything like
the price.
The unqualified commentators of this Com
mentary, from the highest sources, together
with its already extensive and rapidly increas-
ing sale, have given 1t a 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
Princeton College, says: alt is clear, brief,
judicious 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-
BILE impressions of the great merits of your
Commentary have been confirmed upon further
examinations. 1t presents In clear and d.
rect manner the most authoritative view of the
meaning of the Scriptures.
Rev. C. D. HARTRANFT, Pastor of Cd Re-
formed Church, New Brunswick, N. j., says
"I deem it particularly useful for the ordinary
reader of the Bible, still more for the Sabbath
School Teacher, and it would be most agreea-
BILE companion in Family Devotional Exercises,
that are so often aimless because of the effort
to awaken feeling without stimulating knowl-
edge. A 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 1t better than any work
of the kind have yet SEEM"
Rev. ]. G. BoDwELL, Prof. in Hartford The
illogical Seminary, says: ~ have examined
carefully, and with constantly increasing sat
sfaction, this new and 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 a most valuable addition to
whatever other Commentaries they may pos
sess."
Rev. A. w. DECKER, Pastor NJ. L. c., New
Bloomfield, Pa, says 81 feel fully persuaded in
my own mind of its intrinsic value, 1t being so
concise and cheap, tha- IL meets the wants of a
greater number, than any Commentary pub
lished. H,is Just the thing for Superintendents
and Teachers of Sunday Schools and all who
wish correct knowledge of the Bible"
Rev. John Edgar, A. M, Pastor Pres. C'h.,
N. Bloomfield, says: 81 am otter asked to name
a Commentary on the Word of God, more
modern and more brief than Scott, Henry, &C.,
and Ialways recommend the above, If Com
mentary is wanted on the whole Bible. Families
teachers, and s. s. Superintendents, often ind
too much to buy separate works on the diff
ferent books of Scripture. To such would
say here Is good tCork on all, combined"
Rev. P. SHEKDER, Pastor Ev. 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"
