In the course of reconstructing the materials they swelled out in size under the author's hands, to require two volumes - the first confined to the Old Testament, the second to the New. It is hoped that the work will be found greatly supe rior to the Lectures in every respect. It has cost him much more labour, research, and thought than the former. In every instance he has endeavoured to go back to the sources for himself; for which purpose private and public libraries have been consulted. The latest works of whose existence he was aware have been used. All available dissertations, wherever they appeared, have been attended to. Of course German works are most to the author's purpose, since they are more numerous and excellent in this department than English, French, or Dutch.
