from Mr. Woodward, of his intention to publish Dr. Gill’s Exposition of
the Old Testament, in six large quarto volumes; one of which he hopes,
if life and health be spared, to issue every 4 or 5 months, at the price
originally proposed; that is, $5,25 each vol. in boards—6 in sheep, and
7 in calf. Resolved that this association recommend to the churches, and
the brethren of our denomination generally, the encouragement of the
work, and that each church subscribe at least for a copy for its
respective minister for the time being, and communicate the result of
their subscriptions to Mr. Woodward, as early as possible. He hopes to
issue the first volume in the Spring. Sister associations throughout the
union are affectionately invited to patronize the publication, and
should their piety and wisdom approve of the measure, recommend the
adoption of a plan in their churches generally similar to what is above
recommended.”
_SCOTT’S FAMILY BIBLE._
W. W. Woodward is preparing for the press, in 3 vols. quarto, the Rev.
Dr. SCOTT’S FAMILY BIBLE, on a new arrangement. The work will contain
every article, except the Marginal References; and the Notes will follow
immediately after the verses to which they belong, and the Practical
Observations at the end of each chapter. The first volume will be
published as speedily as possible.—The flattering encouragement already
received, induces the publisher to put to press a large edition. A
copy-right is secured for this popular plan. Price in boards 18 dolls.
75 cents, bound 21 dolls. Proposals shall be sent to any persons who
will interest themselves in the work—one copy for every five subscribed
for. The Royal Octavo Bible, recently printed by W. W. W. contains all
the Marginal References, all the Introductions to the Books, and also to
the Chapters, with the General Preface, for $5, common, and $5 50, fine
paper; plates added, $1 50; David’s Psalms, or Watts’s imitation, 50
cents; Concordance, 25 cents. It may be had with or without the above;
with them separately, or all bound in one, or two volumes: one dollar
advance, if bound in two volumes.
The FIRST VOLUME will be out in the Spring, and the other volumes as
early after as practicable—this plan is exceedingly popular. The
following is an extract of a letter from a respectable clergyman:—viz.
“I am happy to inform you, your edition, on the new plan, meets the
general approbation. Of this you will be convinced, when I tell you,
that in obtaining _two hundred subscribers_, I have done little else
than to follow along after Proposals for other editions of the same
work. About 40 sets of the above are to be bound in calf.—Many have
subscribed for _this_, who have absolutely refused to subscribe for
_others_. I think you may safely conclude, therefore, that many families
will be blessed with this excellent work, who would, perhaps, have ever
remained destitute, had it not been for _this edition_.”
