30. An Exposition of the Book of PROVERBS. By the late George LAWSON, D.D. Edinburgh, 1821. 2 vols. 12mo.

This exposition, as well as those on the History of Joseph (No. 19.) and Ruth, (No. 23.), "were chiefly intended for the instruction of Christians in the ordinary walks of life. They are pious and sensible, full of sound doctrine, and salutary admonition and instruction. There is rarely any thing of a critical nature to be found in them, which indeed was not the writer's object; but they every where discover a minute acquaintance with the Bible and the human heart, and a deep concern to profit the reader. The style is plain, and the illustrations [are] generally very brief." (Orme's Biblioth. Biblica, p. 287.) 31. Lectures on the Book of PSALMS.

London, 1822-26. 3 vols. 8vo.

By the Rev. John EWART, M.A.

32. An Exposition of the Book of Psalms, Explanatory, Critical, and Devotional, intended chiefly to aid private Christians in the enlightened perusal of Compositions, in which the national history of the Jews and the personal experience of David are often blended with the Spirit of Prophecy. By the Rev. John MORISON, D.D. London, 1832. 3 vols. 8vo.

As Bishop Horsley's posthumous work on the Book of Psalms (which has been noticed in page 279. No. 14. suprà,) is chiefly adapted to the use of the scholar and Biblical Critic, while the well-known and excellent commentary of Bishop Horne has been thought by many to partake too much of the sytematically prophetic and mystical interpretation; Dr. Morison has performed a very acceptable service to private Christians, as well as to critical students of the sacred volume, in his exposition of the Book of Psalms. The plan which he has adopted is in every respect deserving of commendation. Adhering strictly to the literal meaning of the text, he is careful at the same time not to overlook either its prophetical or typical character. The authorised version is properly retained, and the exposition follows each successive verse; while the critical notes, often very instructive, are commodiously placed at the foot of the page.

42. Lectures on the Book of ECCLESIASTES. By Ralph WARDLAW, D.D. Glasgow and London, 1821. 2 vols. 8vo.

"This is a very elegant Commentary on an exceedingly difficult portion of Scripture." (Orme's Biblioth. Biblica, p. 459.)

43. Lectures on the Prophecies of ISAIAH. By Robert MACCULLOCH, D.D. London, 1791-1805. 4 vols. 8vo.

These lectures were delivered in the ordinary course of his pastoral labours by Dr. M., who was a minister in the church of Scotland. "They contain many ingenious elucidations of the text, and many judicious and useful reflections. The author appears to have taken much pains to understand the phraseology of the Prophet, and to investigate his original design; he marks distinctly the leading divisions of the prophecies, and explains, at the beginning of each division, its peculiar object." (Monthly Review, N. S. vol. xx. p. 226.) Dr. Macculloch has made great use of Vitringa's elaborate commentary on Isaiah.

50. Theological Lectures to the King's Scholars at Westminster Abbey, with an Interpretation of the NEW TESTAMENT, &c. &c. By John HEYLIN, D.D. London, 1749. 1761. 2 vols. 4to.

The first part of this work contains the interpretation of the four Gospels, the second part comprises the Acts of the Apostles and the several Epistles. "This interpretation, though far from being elegant, appears to us, in general, to be accurate and judicious, and shews that the author had carefully studied the original. The whole contains evident marks of solid judgment, critical skill, and considerable learning. In several parts of the work,

indeed, the reader will perceive a small tincture of mysticism; and accordingly we are told, in the preface to the second part, that the author was deeply read in the writings of the mystic divines, and was styled by some the mystic doctor." (Monthly Review, O. S. vol. xxv. p. 33.)

51. Explanatory Notes and Practical Comments, being a Series of Short Lectures on the New Testament. By a Clergyman. Dublin and London, 1829-33. 2 vols. 8vo.

History of Jesus Christ. By James BENNETT. Lon-
Another edition in 2 vols. 8vo.

In 1836 the same author published, as a supplement to this work, "Lectures on the preaching of Christ," in one volume, 8vo.

53. A Practical Exposition of the Four Gospels and of the Acts of the Apostles, in the form of Lectures, intended to assist the Practice of Domestic Instruction and Devotion. By John Bird SUMNER, D.D. Bishop of Chester. London, 1831-38. 4 vols. 8vo.; also in 8 vols. 12mo. various editions.

The intention of the present work is to promote and to assist family reading of the scriptures, by furnishing a book containing such explanations and reflections as might naturally occur to one well acquainted with the sacred writings and the practical expositors. Many Bibles and Testaments have been published with the same object in view, as that proposed by the Bishop of Chester. Most of these, however, from the length of the reflections, have, in a great degree, on that account, become unfit for reading to a family, where brevity must, to a certain extent, be considered.............. The plan of Dr. Sumner is free from this blemish. Great skill has been shewn in the division of the chapters, which are of so convenient a length, that one or more may be taken at a reading, according to circumstances; while the pauses are such as seem natural to the reader's train of thought." (British Critic, April 1832. vol. xi. pp. 366, 367.) "It is impossible seriously to read these lectures without becoming acquainted, both with the way of salvation, and the duties and privileges of the Christian life." (Christian Observer, June, 1831. vol. xxxi. p.852.)

54. An Exposition of the Four Gospels. By the Rev. Thomas ADAM, B.A. Edited, with a Memoir of the Author, by the Rev. A. Westoby, M.A. London, 1837. 2 vols. 8vo.

Of this work, the expository notes on the Gospels of Mark, Luke, and John, are now published for the first time: those on the Gospel of Matthew were published in 1785 in the collection of the author's posthumous works, and were accompanied with suitable Lectures and Prayers. Brevity of remark, fervent piety, and intimate acquaintance with the human heart, characterise this exposition of the four Gospels. The exposition of St. Matthew's Gospel has frequently been printed in one volume 8vo. or two volumes 12mo.

55. Lectures on the Gospel of Saint MATTHEW, delivered in the parish church of Saint James, Westminster, in the years 1798, 1799, 1800, and 1801. By the Right Rev. Beilby PORTEUS, D.D. Bishop of London. London, 1802. 2 vols. 8vo. 1823. in one vol. 8vo, and various other editions in 8vo. The multiplied editions of these admirable lectures sufficiently attest how highly they are esteemed. "They are" indeed " calculated alike to do good to the learned and the unlearned; the aged as well as the inexperienced, the grave and the reflecting, the gay and the thoughtless. They are learned without ostentation, pious without any tincture of enthusiasm, argumentative without pedantry, and perspicuous without losing sight of the graces of style and diction." (British Critic, O. S. vol. xx. p. 306.)

57. Lectures on the Gospel of St. Matthew: among which are introduced eleven Lectures on the early parts of the Bible and on the Ten Commandments, as necessary for the elucidation of the Parable contained in the twentieth chapter of that Gospel. By the Rev. William Marshall HARTE, Rector of St. Lucy, in the Island of Barbados. London, 1831-4. 2 vols. 12mo.

These very useful lectures were originally preached to a congregation of Negroes: they are eminently characterised by simplicity of language, yet without debasing the importance of the subjects discussed by improper familiarity of expression.

58. Explanatory Lectures on the Gospel according to St. Matthew. By the Rev. John PENROSE, M.A. London, 1832. 12mo.

59. Expositions and Sermons upon the ten first Chapters of the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew. By Christopher BLACKWOOD. London, 1659. 4to.

67. Lectures on the ACTS of the Richard STACK, D.D. 2d edition.

68. Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles, delivered in the Parish Church of Stockton-upon-Tees, during Lent, in the Years 1803, 1804, 1805, and 1806. Illustrated with maps. By John BREWSTER, M.A. London, 1807. 2 vols. 8vo. Second edition. London, 1831. in one volume 8vo.

"Both these authors profess to imitate the Bishop of London's (Porteus) excellent Lectures on St. Matthew's Gospel. By a mere comparison of bulk, it is evident that Dr. Stack's lectures must be more slight and cursory than those of Mr. Brewster; the one being twice the extent of the other." Dr. Stack's lectures "contain little more than a recapitulation of the subjects of the chapters in other words. Nor have we been able to discover any remarks in his book but what are so extremely plain and obvious, that they seem to be hardly worth committing to paper, much less to the press. Mr. Brewster proceeds in a very different style. He is full of illustrations from the fathers and divines of various ages; and his own remarks are not trite, but lively as well as just. Mr. B.'s lectures may be justly recommended, as approaching much more nearly to the model which both undertook to imitate, and as not only instructive, but pleasing and attractive." (British Critic, O. S. vol. xxx. pp. 133, 134, 136. See also Eclectic Review, O. S. vol. ii. p. 408.)

69. Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles. By John Dick, D.D. Glasgow. 2d edition, 1822. 8vo.

The first edition of these Lectures was in two volumes, which were published at different times. Dr. Dick is advantageously known as the author of a sensible and well-written essay on the inspiration of the Scriptures. Speaking of the first volume of the first edition, some critics have remarked, that his discussion of the principal topics related in the Acts of the Apostles "is fully calculated to establish the faith of Christians in their holy religion, and furnishes them with some excellent practical rules for the regulation of their moral conduct. Upon the whole, we cheerfully recommend the present volume to the attention of the public.' (Eclectic Review, O. S. vol. ii. pp. 428. 440.) The same critics (vol. v. part ii. p. 834.), speaking of the two volumes collectively, observe, that they contain altogether a useful illus. tration of many important passages of the Acts; they are full of good sense and orthodox divinity, conveyed in a perspicuous and easy style. The second edition of these Lectures has been carefully revised.

70. Twelve Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles. By Charles James BLOMFIELD, D.D. Bishop of Chester [now of London]. London, 1829, 8vo. To these very valuable lectures is annexed a new edition of the five lectures on the Gospel of St. John (No. 61.); and in an appendix is subjoined Dr. Tucker's "Brief

and Dispassionate View of the difficulties attending the Trinitarian, Arian, and Socinian Systems."

71. Discourses on Passages selected from the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. By Henry THOMPSON, D.D. London, 1822. 8vo.

The object of these expository discourses is, from select passages in the first seven chapters of the book of Acts, to mark the fulfilment of prophecy in the qualifications, labours, and success of the first propagators of Christianity: and this design the author has successfully accomplished. For an analysis of the volume, with a well-merited commendation of its execution, the reader is referred to the Edinburgh Christian Instructor, for June, 1823, pp. 404-409.

72. Jo. Alphonsi TURRETINI in Paulli Apostoli ad ROMANOS Epistolæ capita priora undecim Prælectiones critica, theologica, et concionatoriæ. Lausannæ, 1741. 4to.

These lectures, which were first published after the author's death, are also to be found in the second volume of Turretin's collective works, printed at Leuwarden, in 1775, in quarto. They are truly excellent. The prolegomena discuss, with great ability, the date of the Epistle to the Romans, the place whence it was written, the state of the Christians at Rome, the causes of the difficulty of St. Paul's epistles generally, and of that to the Romans in particular; the controversies agitated at that time, and various other topics which are necessary to the right understanding of that epistle.

73. Lectures on the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, explanatory and practical. By Richard STACK, D.D. Dublin, 1806. 8vo.

74. Lectures explanatory and practical, on the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans. By the Rev. John FRY, A.B. London, 1816. 8vo.

75. Paulus Parochialis; or, a Plain and Practical View of the Object, Arguments, and Connection of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: in a Series of Sermons, adapted to Country Congregations. By the Rev. Wm. Lisle BOWLES. Bath, 1826. 8vo.

76. Lectures on St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. By the Rev. C. A. MOYSEY, D.D. [Bath,] 1830. 8vo.

77. Lectures, explanatory and practical, on the Doctrinal part of the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans. By David RITCHIE, D.D. Edinburgh and London, 1831. 2 vols. 8vo.

"These lectures deserve commendation both for their spirit and intention, being written with candour, moderation, and talent, and giving ample proof of a sincere desire to set forth the oracles of truth." (British Critic, October 1835. vol. xviii. p. 825.)

78. A Practical Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, in a series of Lectures. By the Rev. Thomas PARRY, M.A. Archdeacon of Antigua. London, 1832. 12mo.

"The object of this volume is, to facilitate the understanding of the Epistle to the Romans, by tracing the connection of its various parts in an easy and familiar exposition..... But though the author has mainly endeavoured to render his work useful and attractive to general readers, who have little opportunity for consulting more elaborate expositions, he has not altogether neglected the wants of the student or the candidate for holy orders. Readers of this class will find considerable information in the notes attached to each successive lecture; and the analysis of the epistle, and remarks on certain leading terms, contained in the appendix, afford ample matter to the more advanced theologian." (Christian Remembrancer, May, 1832. vol. xiv. p. 280.)

79. An Exposition of the Eighth Chapter of the Epistle to the Romans. Also, five Lectures on the Tenth Chapter of the same. By the Rev. C. D. MAITLAND, B.A. London, 1831. 8vo.

80. A Practical Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. By the Rev. Robert ANDERSON. London, 1833. 12mo.

"We must now take leave of Mr. Anderson, which we do with the conviction that we have been conversing with one, all whose faculties are intensely devoted to the holy work of the ministry. It is perhaps too much to expect that this or any exposition of the Epistle to the Romans should meet with the unqualified and unanimous assent of the critical or theological world. . . . . Of the work before us, however, we can honestly say, that it exemplifies
