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._ Third Series. _Subscri
