it deserved. The editor of the second edition says, the work has been highly commended since its first publication.

KNATCHBULL. 'Annotations upon some difficult Texts, in all the Books of the New Testament. By Sir NORTON KNATCHBULL, Knight and Baronet.' Cambridge, 1693. 1 vol. 12 mo.

The character of this work, and the rank of its author, are sufficiently described in the title-page. Sir Norton Knatchbull ranks among the learned writers of his day; and his work contains many valuable notes.

LARDNER. A History of the Apostles and Evangelists, writers of the New Testament. By NATHANIEL LARDNER, D. D. London, 1760.' This work is republished in a collection of Theological Tracts, in 6 volumes, by RICHARD WATSON, D. D. F. R. S. Lord Bishop of Llandaff, &c.' London, 1791. 6 vols. 8vo.

This work is an admirable introduction to the New Testament, and a storehouse of literary information, collected with equal industry and fidelity.' Bishop Marsh, quoted by Horne, Intro. ii. 725.

LAWSON. An Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews: wherein the Text is cleared; Theopolitica improved; The Socinian comment examined. By GEORGE LAWSON, Rector of More, in the County of Salop.' London, 1662. 1 vol. folio.

Of this writer I know little, except that he was a clergyman of the established English Church.

LEIGHTON.

The Expository works, and other Re

mains of Archbishop LEIGHTON,' &c. 1748. 2 vols. 8vo.

Edinburgh,

Horne pronounces the work here mentioned to be an 'admirable commentary.' Intro. ii. 803.

LIGHTFOOT. The works of the reverend and learned JOHN LIGHTFOOT, D. D. late master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge.' London, 1684. 2 vols. folio: and 1825. 13 vols. 8 vo.

The writings of Dr. Lightfoot are an invaluable treasure to the Biblical student. By his deep researches into the Rabbinical writings, he has done more to illustrate the phraseology of the Holy Scriptures, and to explain the various customs, &c. therein alluded to, particularly in the New Testament, than any other author, before or since.' Horne, Intro. ii. 298.

LOCKE. A Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul to the Galatians, First and Second Corinthians, Romans, and Ephesians, &c. By JOHN LOCKE.' Cambridge, 1832. 1 vol. 8 vo.

For remarks on this work see the name of Peirce. I remark here that the author is the same, whose philosophical works have secured to him an immortal reputation.

MACKNIGHT. A Harmony of the Four Gospels: in which the natural order of each is preserved: with a Paraphrase and Notes. By JAMES MACKNIGHT, M. A. minister of Maybole.' London, 1756. 2 vols. in one, 4 to.

'A new Literal Translation, from the original Greek, of all the Apostolical Epistles. With a Commentary and Notes, Philological, Explanatory and Practical. By JAMES MACKNIGHT, D. D. author of a Harmony of the Gospels, &c.' Boston, 1810. 6 vols. 8 vo. and London, 1832, 1 vol. royal 8 vo.

Of the Harmony,' here named, Horne says it 'contains so much useful information' that it has long been regarded as a standard book among divines.' Intro. ii. 482. And of the 'Translation' &c. the same author says, 'It is a work of theological labor not often paralleled, and an ample storehouse of observations to exercise not only the student, but the adept in divinity.' Intro. ii. 796.

PARKHURST.

'A Greek and English Lexicon to the New Testament. By JOHN PARKHURST, M. A. Formerly Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge.' London, 1794. 1 vol. 4 to.

Horne pronounces this an 'admirable work,' and says it contains 'valuable stores of philology.' Intro. ii. 705.

PEARCE. A Commentary with notes on the four Evangelists, and the Acts of the Apostles, together with

a new translation of St. Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians, with a paraphrase and notes, &c. By ZACHARY PEARCE, D. D. late Lord Bishop of Rochester.' London, 1777. 2 vols. 4 to.

Under the titles of Benson, and Locke, I have referred to this place. Of these authors, Horne says:-'Locke, Peirce, and Benson, make up a complete Commentary on the Epistles, and are indeed all in the number of the most ingenious Commentators I have ever read.' Intro. ii. 797.

POOLE. 'Annotations upon the Holy Bible, wherein the Sacred Text is inserted, and various readings annexed, together with the parallel Scriptures, the more difficult terms in each verse are explained, seeming contradictions reconciled, questions and doubts resolved, and the whole text opened. By the late Reverend and learned Divine Mr. MATTHEW POOLE.' London, 1683 and 1686. 2 vols. folio.

"The Annotations are mingled with the text, and are allowed to be very judicious: the author (who was an eminent nonconformist divine) wrote them only as far as the 58th chapter of Isaiah, the remainder of the notes was compiled after the same manner, by several eminent dissenting ministers.' Horne, Intro. ii. 751.

PYLE. A Paraphrase, with some Notes on the Acts of the Apostles, and upon all the Epistles of the New Testament: being a complete supplement to Dr. Clarke's Paraphrase on the Four Gospels, &c. By THOMAS PYLE, M. A. Lecturer of Lyn-Regis. in Norfolk.' London, 1715. 2 vols. 8 vo.

This author was 'an eminent divine, born 1674,-educated at Caius College, Cambridge.—His Paraphrase on the Acts

and all the Epistles, is an excellent work, often re-printed.' Lemp. Univ. Biography, Art. PYLE.

ROSENMULLER. D. Io. GEORGII ROSENMULLERI SCHOLIA in Novum Testamentum.'

1801- -1808. 5 vols. 8 vo.

Norimbergae,

This is the work of an eminent German Author, not long since introduced into this country; its reputation is high among divines, of all denominations.

SCHLEUSNER.

'Novum Lexicon Græco-Latinam in Novum Testamentum, congessit et variis observationibus philologicis illustravit JOHANNES FRIEder. SCHLEUSNER.' Lipsiae, 1819. 2 vols. 8 vo.

This Lexicon is well known among scholars, and its merits are universally acknowledged. Horne calls it, (Intro. ii. 705,) 'an invaluable work.'

SCOTT. 'The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with original Notes, and practical Observations. By THOMAS SCOTT, Rector of Aston Sanford, Bucks, and Chaplain to the Lock Hospital.' Boston, 1816. 6 vols. 8vo.

This work is too well known to need description. It is in almost every (orthodox) family in the country, and its authority admitted to be, at least, respectable.

THEOPHYLACT. THEOPHYLACTI ARCHIEPISCOPI BULGARIE, in Quatuor Evangelia Enarrationes, denuo recognitæ. IOANNE OECOLAMPADIO INTERPRETE. Anno 1525.' 1 vol. folio.

"Theophylact, metropolitan of Bulgaria, flourished in the 11th century; his Scholia on the principal books of Scripture are chiefly abridged from Chrysostom. Those on the Gospels, Acts, and St. Paul's Epistles, are particularly valuable.' Horne, Intro. ii. 743.

TOMSON'S BEZA. The New Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ, translated out of the Greek by Theod. Beza. Whereunto are adjoined large expositions of the phrases and hard places, by the Author, and others, &c. Englished by L. Tomson.' London, 1583. 1 vol. folio.

This, as the title imports, is the translation and Notes of

Beza in an English dress. Of the character of this writer, something is said under the title BEZA.

WAKEFIELD. 'A translation of the New Testament. By GILBERT WAKEFIELD. B. A.' Cambridge, 1820. 2 vols. in one, 8 vo.

This author was an English Unitarian, and is highly prized by the American Unitarians. He rejected the doctrine of endless misery, but believed in a state of misery for the wicked in the future life.

WHITBY.

A Paraphrase and Commentary on the New Testament. By DANIEL WHITBY, D. D. Late Chantor of the Cathedral Church of Sarum.' London, 1727. 2 vols. folio.

'Divines of every denomination concur in pronouncing Dr. Whitby's Commentary to be, upon the whole, the best upon the New Testament that is extant in the English language.' Horne, Intro. ii. 787.

WITSIUS. HERMANNI WITSII, Dissertatio de Seculo hoc et futuro.'

This Dissertation is found in the work entitled 'Novum Testamentum ex Talmude et Antiquitatibus Hebræorum Illustratum, &c. a JOH. GERHARDO MEUSCHEN.' Lipsiæ, 1736. 1 vol. 8 vo.

Horne notices this as a valuable and learned work. See his Intro. ii. 298.

WYNNE.

'The New Testament; carefully collated with the Greek, and corrected; divided and pointed according to the various subjects treated of by the inspired writers, with the common division into chapters and verses in the margin; and illustrated with Notes critical and explanatory. By RICHARD WYNNE, A. M. Rector of Alphage, London, and Chaplain to the Right Honorable the Earl of Dunmore.' London 1764. 2 vols. 8 vo.

Of this work, Horne says it is chiefly a compendium of Dr. Doddridge's Exposition. Of course it has the merit of orthodoxy; as none will doubt that Doddridge was sufficiently or thodox. See Horne's Intro. ii. 788.
