ELIJAH, ELISHA, etc.

303 ANDERSON (JAMES, S. M., M.A.) Discourses on Elijah, etc. 8vo.

Lond.,

I835- 2/- Ordinary sermons by a “Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen.” Rhetorical and grandiose, but not expository.

3o4 BAYNE (PETER). The Days of Jezebel. An Historical Drama.

12mo. 6/- Lond., Strachan & Co. I872. A fine poetic drama, worthy of quotation by preachers; but hardly in the line of works contemplated by this Catalogue.

305 EDERSHEIM (ALFRED, D.D.) Elisha the Prophet, a Type of Christ. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., W. Hunt &Co. x873. This author is always interesting, shewing close acquaintance with Jewish customs, and knowing how to utilize his information.

3o6 HOWAT (H. T.) Elijah, the Desert Prophet. Cr. 8vo. 5/- Edinb., Johnstone & Hunter. x868.

Very picturesque and poetical. A work to be read for enjoyment.

307 KRUMMACHER (F. W., D.D.) Elijah the Tishbite. Translated from the German. [Numerous editions; one has lately been issued by the Religious Tract Society. Cr. 8vo. 3/-] S. 1/6.

Too well known and approved to need any commendation from us.

308 MACDUFF (J. R., D.D.) The Prophet of Fire. Post 8vo.

6/6. Lond., James Nisbet& Co. 1863.

Dr. Macduff writes popularly, yet he is by no means weak or shallow, He is to the young minister all the more useful, because he has worked out the problem of making sound thought intelligible to the multitude.

309 M[ACINTOSH] (C. H. } Reflections on the Life and Times of Elijah. By C. H. M. 1/- Lond., G. Morrish.

Strongly Plymouthistic. A small affair.

3io BLUNT (HENRY, M.A.) Lectures upon the History of Elisha.

12mo. 5/6. Lond., Hatchards. 1839. S. 2/’- We like Blunt better upon Elisha than upon any other portion of Scripture.

He says that, had he known of Krummacher’s having written upon the subject, he should not have attempted it himself. A wise observation. What shall he do that cometh after a King, or after a Krummacher ?

311 DOTHIE (W. P., M.A.) The History of the Prophet Elisha.

Cr. 8vo. 2/6. Lond., Hodder & Stoughton. 1872.

Sketchy. Not very deep, but interesting.

312 GLYN (GEORGE L., Bart.) Life of Elisha, in eleven plain dis- courses. 8vo. Lond., Wertheim & Macintosh. 1857. S. x/-Evangelical and simple. Ministers do not need it.

3x3 KRUMMACHER (F. W., D.D.) Elisha. Translated from the German. Lond., Nisbet & Co. I838. S. I/6. Of this we may say as we did of the same author’s E1ijah, — it needs no commending from us.

314 BULLOCK (CHARLES). The Syrian Leper. Fcap. 8vo. 2/6.

Lond., Wertheim & Macintosh. 1862. S. 1/3.

Telling in style, and earnestly evangelical. These chapters are good specimens of popular expounding.

315 MACDUFF (J. R., D.D.) The Healing Waters; or, The Story of Naaman. An Old Testament Chapter on Provi- dence and Grace. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Nisbet. 1873. In Dr. Macduff’s best manner: the story of 2Vaaman is admirably handled, and made to teach the gospel with much freshness.

316 ROGERS (DANIEL, B.D. Puritan. I573 — 1652). Naaman the Syrian, his disease and cure; discovering lively to the reader the spiritual leprosie of sinne and selfe-love; together with the remedies, viz., selfedenial and faith. Folio. Lond., I642. 7/- to 10/-

,4 huge volume of 898folio pages, almost large enough to have loaded one of Naaman’s mules. /t is a work which exhausts the subject and turns it to earnest evangelical uses.

317 WOODWARD (HENRY, A.M.) The Shunamite. 8vo. 10/6. Lond. and Cam&, Macmillan & Co. 1863. S. 3/- We scarcely remember a more flagrant case of high-sounding verbiage.

Here is the author’s way of describing a hen which has hatched ducklings.

— ” That much tried bird, whose hard allotment it has been to hatch and rear a brood of aliens, and who seems as if melancholy had marked her for her own, when her charge, with unanimous consent, hurry to some tempting pool of water, and violate her feelings and shock her instincts, by casting themselves upon that hostile element.”
