MATTHEW HENRY'S COMMENTARY.

AN EXPOSITION OF ALL THE BOOKS OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, with Practical Remarks and Observations. By MATTHEW HENRY. In three vols. royal 4to, boards, £3, 108.

This edition presents a complete and accurate reprint of Henry's admirable work. Considerable obscurity having hitherto been occasioned by defective typographical marking of the divisions and sub-divisions, and by loose and inaccurate punctuation, great care has been taken to rectify these defects, and thereby render the author's method of arrangement and general meaning more perspicuous. The exposition being the part chiefly read, and the text being mainly for reference, the former is printed in a good readable type, and the latter in smaller type, but still sufficiently clear and distinct.

Being a Complete Index and Concise Dictionary of the Holy Bible. By the Rev. JOHN BARR. A New Edition, revised and enlarged by the Rev. M. G. EASTON, D.D. Post 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d.

This work is at once a Concordance and a concise Bible-Dictionary, every difficult word being briefly explained, figurative language illustrated, allusions to eastern customs shortly noticed, the situation of cities, countries, &c., mentioned, and the symbolical style of prophecy expounded. It gives also the meaning and pronunciation of proper names, and contains at the end a number of chronological and other tables which it is believed will greatly conduce to its usefulness.

CRUDEN'S CONCORDANCE

TO THE SACRED SCRIPTURES. With Memoir of the Author. Cloth, red edges, 38. 6d. The student will here find, in alphabetical order, every word and every inflection of every word of consequence in the Bible, along with a portion of the passage or passages in which it occurs, and a reference to chapter and verse. By this means the various significations of the same word may readily be compared, any passage required may easily be found, and all the texts bearing upon any particular point or topic collated, so that the Bible may be made to serve as a commentary on itself, the book being thus of the greatest value to all engaged in the study or exposition of the Scriptures.

BROWN'S CONCORDANCE TO THE BIBLE:

Printed in small but clear type, 18mo, cloth neat, 18.

This little work, which has already met with a large demand, is intended to serve the same general purposes as the above, but of course its scope is far less extensive. In a concise form, however, it still contains a vast number of references to passages in the Scriptures, the parts more especially referred to being those where the features of the Mosaic and Christian dispensations are recorded, and where the more remarkable historical and prophetic descriptions are given.

"This is not a series of recondite descriptions of dogmas or church forms, but rather a record of brave deeds, for Dr. M'Crie speaks simple truth when he says: 'No church in Christendom affords so many incidents of stirring interest, or furnishes to readers of the present day so many lessons of paramount importance.""-British Quarterly Review.

“The narrative flows so pleasantly, and is so little encumbered with dry details, that the reader is irresistibly rivetted to it, as if it were a veritable work of fiction, instead of being what it is a record of the polemic contendings, always bitter and often bloody, of a people striving to free themselves from the trammels alike of Popery and Prelacy."-People's Journal.

"This work is a popular narrative, written with such vividness and full of so many personal anecdotes and facts that it should be read in every family in the land."-Daily Review.
