JEREMIAH AND LAMENTATIONS.

[We would call special attention to the volume of the Speaker’s Commentary upon this Book. It is by Dr. Payne Smith, Dean of Canterbury, and deserves much praise.] BLAYNEY (BENJAMIN, D.D. Died I801). Jeremiah and Lamentations.

New Translation, with Notes. 8vo. Lond., x836. 2/6. (See No. 711.)

Blayney belonged to a past school of clever men, too apt to suggest new readings, and more able to appreciate literary beauties than spiritual teachings. He was a zealous follower of Lowth, but he lacked the fine taste and poetic genius of his master.

752 HENDERSON (E., D.D.) Jeremiah and Lamentations. 8vo.

Lond., 1851. 8/6. A work of the same character as No. 728.

753 HULL (JOHN, D.D.) Exposition upon part of Lamentations 4:1-22 to.

Lond., I618. 7/6.

Full of quaintnesses. Marrowy throughout.

754 KEIL (K. F. I754 — 1818). Commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations 2:1-22 vols., 8vo. 21/. Edinb., T. &T. Clark. x874.

We have already indicated the direction in which Keil is serviceable. For exact interpretation he is esteemed, but he is too cold and formal ever to be a favorite.

755 LANGE’S COMMENTARY. Jeremiah and Lamentations. By Dr. C.

W. Nagelsbach. x vol., Imp. 8vo. 21/- Edinb., T. Clark. 1871.

“Whoever becomes possessed of this great work will have, in a comprehensive form, the results of all ancient and modern exegesis, with an apparatus criticus of surprising copiousness.” — British Quarterly Review.

756 LOWTH (WILLIAM, M.A.) A Commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations 4:1-22 to. Lond., 1718. 1/6. (See Nos. 5oand 712). This forms a part of what is known as Bp. Patrick’s Commentary. Orme says that Lowth is “one of the most judicious commentators on the prophets, and he never prophesies himself” We wish we could say this of all writers on prophetic subject§.

757 SMITH (THORNLEY). The Prophet of Sorrow; or, Life and Times o£ Jeremiah. Cr. 8vo. 4/6. Edinb., Oliphant. x875. Not a commentary; but as it casts light on the character and times of the prophet it deserves a place here.

758 SWIFT (DANIEL). Zion’s sufferings: an Exposition of Lamen. tations V. 12mo. Lond., 1654. 4/- Strong, rough, coarse. Excessively rare.

759 UDALL (JOHN) A Commentarie upon the Lamentations of Jeremy.

[Anon.’] 4to. Lond., i599. 4/ or5/. In this extremely rare work the author has labored after brevity, and has given the abridgment of many discourses ; hence, to those who can procure it, it is all the more useful.
