Vol 04 - THE PROPHETS.

THE PROPHETS.

710 KITTO (John, D.D.) “Isaiah and the Prophets.” In Daily Bible Illustrations. (See No. 4 I). Should be consulted wherever the readings touch upon a passage.

LOWTH (BIsHop) and others. A Literal Translation of the Prophets from Isaiah to Malachi, with Notes by Lowth, Blay- ney, Newcome, etc. 5 vols. 8vo. Lond., 1836. 10/-to 15/.

Concerning each of the five volumes we refer the reader to our notices under the separate books.

712 LOWTH (WILLIAM, B.D., x66I — I732, Father of Bp. Lowth).

Commentary on the Prophets. 4 vols. 4to. Lond., I714. This is Lowth’s part of Patrick (2Va. 50). He was more spiritual than those with whom he became associated, which is not saying much.

713 NOYES (GEORGE R., D.D.). A New Translation of the Hebrew Prophets. 3 vols., 12mo. New York, I849.

We are bound to commend this author’s learning, taste, and candour, even though we differ widely from him. The reader must: not look for savor or spiritual quickening, but use the work as a literary help only.

WILLIAMS (ROWLAND, D.D.) The Hebrew Prophets during the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires. Translated afresh from the Original, with Illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo. 22/6. Lond., Williams & Norgate. 1866 — 71. The author does not admit that there are references to the Messiah in the Prophets Whatever he may have written, this fatal error deprives it of value. A man writing in that fashion should have been a rabbi in the synagogue, and not a minister among professed Christians.
