m so
lucid and attractive that every thoughtful reader can enjoy
it."--PROFESSOR BEET.
*The Book of Isaiah* Chapters I.-XXXIX.
By the *Rev. Prof. G. ADAM SMITH, M.A., D.D.*
"This is a very attractive book. Mr. George Adam Smith has evidently
such a mastery of the scholarship of his subject that it would be a
sheer impertinence for most scholars, even though tolerable
Hebraists, to criticise his translations; and certainly it is not
the intention of the present reviewer to attempt anything of the
kind, to do which he is absolutely incompetent. All we desire is to
let English readers know how very lucid, impressive--and, indeed,
how vivid--a study of Isaiah is within their reach; the fault of the
book, if it has a fault, being rather that it finds too many points
of connection between Isaiah and our modern word, than that it finds
too few. In other words, no one can say that the book is not full of
life."--_Spectator._
*The Pastoral Epistles*
By the *Rev. ALFRED PLUMMER, D.D.*, Master of University College, Durham.
"An admirable sample of what popular theology ought to
be."--_Saturday Review._
"The treatment is throughout scholarlike, lucid,
thoughtful."--_Guardian._
*The First Epistle to the Corinthians*
By the *Rev. Prof. MARCUS DODS, D.D.*
"A clear, close, unaffected, unostentatious exposition, not verse by
verse, but thought after thought, of this most interesting perhaps,
and certainly most various, of all the Apostle's writings."--_London
Quarterly Review._
*The Epistles of St. John*
By the *Most Rev. W. ALEXANDER, D.D.*, Lord Archbishop of Armagh.
"These commentaries are explicitly intended to help the preacher,
and in Dr. Alexander's 'Discourses' they will find material ready
shaped to their hand--not facts only, but imagery, references, and
allusions, none of them cheap or commonplace, and some of them
felicitous in a high degree."--_Guardian._
*The Revelation of St. John*
By the *Rev. Prof. W. MILLIGAN, D.D.*, of the University of Aberdeen.
"Lucid, scholarly."--_Academy._
"The style is admirably lucid, expressive, and withal stately. The
task of the reader could not possibly be easier, and in the case of
such an abstruse theme the result is no small feat of intellectual
and literary ingenuity."--_Aberdeen Free Press._
