JOSHUA.

234 BLACKWOOD (STEVENSON A.) Heavenly Places. Addresses.

Sm. cr. 8vo. 2/- and 2/6. load., Nisbet & Co. x873.

Mr. Blackwood has illustrated passages from the first five chapters only.

He has a beautifully quiet way of saying very sweet things. This little book will be useful if it shows the young preacher how to expound Scripture with unction and power.

235 BUSH (GEORGE). Notes. Sin. 8vo. New York. 1852. 3/- Bush is a careful illustrator of the Word, and apt at giving the practical lesson. His works are well compiled.

236 CALVIN (JOHN). Commentarie upon Joshue. Translated by W. F. 4to. Lond.,I578. 9/-

We have said enough upon Calvin in general. His expositions are more equal in excellence than those of other men; other men rise and fall, but he is almost uniformly good.

237 CHRIST IN THE PROPHETS. — Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings.

[Anon.] Foolscap 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Masters. 1873.

See Christ in the Law, No. 80. Needs well sifting. There is much rubbish.

2.’.;8 CUMMING (JOHN, D.D.) Readings on Joshua and Judges.

Sm. 8vo. Lond., J. F. Shaw. i857. 2/- Dr. Cumming keeps up to his average of value.

GROSER (W. H.) Joshua and his Successors: an Introduction to Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and Samuel I., with Notes. Parts I. and II 8vo. 2/- each.

Lond., S.S. Union. x874. A very useful condensed book for teachers.

240 KEIL (KARL FRIEDRICH, D.D., Ph.D.) Joshua, Judges, and Ruth. i vol. 8vo. 10/6. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1865. S. 5/-”Let our biblical students not only master the facts and logic, but catch the spirit of these commentaries, and we can have no fear for the issue of that conflict with Rationalism and Popery united, by which Protestantism in this country seems to be threatened.” — Wesleyan Methodist Magazine.

24i KELLY (WILLIAM). Lectures Introductory to the Study of the earlier Historical Books [Joshua to II Samuel]. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Broom. I874.

After the manner of Plymouth commenting in general; quite sufficiently taken up with spiritualizing and nice points: but yet, read with half a ton of salt, a book likely to arouse thought, and suggest topics.

242 LANGE’S COMMENTARY. — Joshua (by F. R. Fay); Judges, Ruth (by P. Cassel, D.D.) Edited by Dr. Schaff.

One vol. Imp. 8co. 21/- Edinb., T. & T. Clark. x872. This is a standard work. No minister’s library is furnished ‘without the whole set. Joshua however is inferior to Judges.

243 MARCHANT (F. G.) Commentary on Joshua. [Part III. of Preacher’s Commentary. I/.] Lond., Dickinson. x875.

While writing this we have only one number before us, but it promises well, and we feel sure its quality will be sustained, for we know the author’s industrious habits.

244 THE GOSPEL IN THE BOOK OF JOSHUA. [Anon.] Cr. 8co. I/6.

Lond., Partridge & Co. x867.

Pious remarks, such as anyone would make.

245 SEATON (W.) The Church in Canaan; or, heirs in possession receiving the promises. Vol. I. 12mo. Lond., 1823. 2/- A sequel to No. x88.

246 SMITH (THORNLEY). The History of Joshua, viewed in connection with the Topography of Canaan, and the Customs of the Times in which he lived. Cr. 8Colossians 4:1-18/6.

Edinb., W. Oliphant & Co. I87O.

Although not a commentary, it will answer the same purpose; for almost every event is fully illustrated. ,4 capital work.
