Elliott, in his Vindiciac Horanai."We are much mistaken if it do not produce an extensive influence upon thethinking of the age, on subjects appertaining to prophecy." British Banner." As a seasonable antidote to the transcendental treatment of Scripture, wehail the volume before us with peculiar satisfaction. We are greatly mistakenif it does not lead tlie way to a more healthy and satisfactory mode of resolvingthe mysteries of tliis book than has ever yet been adopted." Free Church Mogasine." This book is characterized by profound veneration for the authority of theBible,—a calm, and even severe judgment,—a competent intimacy with the historyof nations,—a flowing, yet manly and classic style,—and a richness of descriptivepower which transfers to the mind of the reader the images that arepassing before that of the eloquent writer. Were our statesmen alive to tliesigns of the times, they would ponder its weighty sayings." Universe." The attention, which is at once engaged by its graceful diction and eloquentstyle, is flixed and deepened by the manifestations of Biblical knowledge, historicalresearch, logical closeness of reasoning, and earnestness of religious principleand feeling, which are throughout apparent." London Watchman."We have read this volume with an interest we cannot express; and in ourreading on the great subject to which it refers, and wiiich has for forty yearsappeared to us one of coiuuianding importance, we have met with no book whichhas so entirely commended itself to our judgment. The Christian Church willfeel itself to be under deep and still deeper obligation, in proportion as hiswork becomes known." Oxford Chronicle." The most elaborate, the best written, and decidedly the most satisfactorytreatise on the subject." Banner of Utst-er.
