; Scott, by his son;
Doddridge, by Orton;
with sketches of the lives and characters, and notices of the works, of the
writers on the Scriptures who are quoted in the Commentary, living and
dead, American and foreign.
This part of the volume not only affords a large quantity of interesting
and useful reading for pious families, but will also be a source of
gratification to all those who are in the habit of consulting the
Commentary; every one naturally feeling a desire to know some particulars
of the lives and characters of those whose opinions he seeks. Appended to
this part, will be a
BIBLIOTHECA BIBLICA,
or list of the best works on the Bible, of all kinds, arranged under their
appropriate heads.
4. A complete Index of the Matter contained in the Bible Text.
5. A Symbolical Dictionary.
A very comprehensive and valuable Dictionary of Scripture Symbols,
(occupying about _fifty-six_ closely printed pages,) by Thomas Wemyss,
(author of "Biblical Gleanings," &c.) Comprising Daubux, Lancaster,
Hutcheson, &c.
6. The Work contains several other Articles,
Indexes, Tables, &c. &c., and is,
7. Illustrated by a large Plan of Jerusalem,
identifying, as far as tradition, &c., go, the original sites, drawn on the
spot by F. Catherwood, of London, architect. Also, two steel engravings of
portraits of seven foreign and eight American theological writers, and
numerous wood engravings.
The whole forms a desirable and necessary fund of instruction for the use
not only of clergymen and Sabbath-school teachers, but also for families.
When the great amount of matter it must contain is considered, it will be
deemed exceedingly cheap.
"I have examined 'The Companion to the Bible,' and have been surprised to
find so much information introduced into a volume of so moderate a size. It
contains a library of sacred knowledge and criticism. It will be useful to
ministers who own large libraries, and cannot fail to be an invaluable help
to every reader of the Bible."
HENRY MORRIS,
Pastor of Congregational Church, Vermont.
The above work can be had in several styles of binding. Price varying from
$1.75 to $5.00.
