_From Dr. DELITZSCH, the Commentator._
"A work of gigantic industry, noble in outward form, of the highest
rank in its contents, and, what is the chief point, it breathes the
spirit of true faith in Christ. I have read enough of it to rejoice
at such a magnificent creation, and especially to wonder at the
extent of reading it shows. When I shall have occasion to revise my
Hebrew New Testament, I hope to get much help from it."
_From Bishop BECKWITH, of Georgia._
"The book is of value not merely to the theological student or
student of history, but the family. It furnishes information which
every one should possess, and which thoughtful people will be glad to
gain from so agreeable a teacher."
_From Dr. JOHN HALL._
