DR. ADAM CLARKE'S COMPLETE COMMENTARY ON THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.

With a portrait of the author, engraved expressly for this edition, accompanied with Maps, & c. Plain and embossed gilt.

From the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate.

“It would be difficult to find any contribution to Sacred Literature that has attained to a higher rank than the Commentaries of Dr. . Whether regarded as a prodigy of human learning, or as a monument of what perseverence and industry, within the compass of a single lifetime, can accomplish, it will long continue to challenge the admiration of men as a work of unrivalled merit. It is a treasury of knowledge, in the accumulation of which, the author seems to have had no purpose in view but the apprehension of truth ; not to sustain a particular creed, but the apprehension of truth for truth 's own sake, restrained in the noble pursuits of no party tenets by no ardor for favorite dogmas. It is difficult to conceive of a complete library without this valuable work, and yet alone of itself, it affords to its possessor no mean variety ofentertainment. Besides forming a moderate, but clear elucidation of the truemeaning of the Sacred Word, it abounds with illustrations in science, the literature of all ages, and the history of all times and all countries ; and as a lexicon for the exposition of abstruse phrases, of difficult terms, and the true genealogy of words of doubtful import, it immeasurably surpasses all similar works of the age.”
