14. Historia Universæ Tabula Ethnographico-Periodico-Synchronistica, ab rerum primordiis ad nostram diem, post doctissimorum virorum curas iisque ducibus ad præstantissima temporis putandi exempla juxta æram vulgarem dispositæ ; adjectis clarissimarum gentium genealogiis copiosoque rerum quarumlibet indice: præmissâ etiam ærarum inter se comparata delineatione, item totius historiæ adfiniumque doctrinarum notitia literaria, in usum historiæ amicorum adornatæ studio Francisci Josephi DUMBECKII. Berolini, 1821, folio.

These chronological tables claim a place in the student's library, not only for their cheapness, but also for their utility. They are noticed here on account of the clear exhibition which they contain of sacred chronology and the affairs of those nations with whom the Jews had any intercourse. The modern events are brought down to the year 1820.

1. THE Sacred and Profane History of the World connected, from the Creation of the World to the Dissolution of the Assyrian Empire. By S. SHUCKFORD, M.A. 8vo. 4 vols. London, 1743, best edition. This well-known and valuable work has been several times reprinted.

2. The Old and New Testament connected, in the History of the Jews and neighbouring Nations, from the Declension of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah to the time of Christ. By Humphrey PRIDEAUX, D.D. 8vo. 4 vols. London, 1749, 10th edit. reprinted in 4 vols. 8vo, 1808.

3. The Connection of Sacred and Profane History, from the Death of Joshua until the Decline of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Intended to complete the works of Shuckford and Prideaux. By the Rev. M. RUSSELL, LL.D. London, 1827, Vols. I. and II. 8vo.

4. Histoire des Juifs depuis Jésus Christ. Par Jaques BASNAGE. A la Haye, 1716, 15 tomes, 8vo. best edition.

5. The History of the Jews since the time of Jesus Christ, translated from the French of M. Basnage. London, 1708, folio. "The learning and research manifested in this work are amazing; and on the subject, nothing better, nothing more accurate and satisfactory, can well be expected." (Dr. A. Clarke.)

6. The History of the Old Testament Methodized: to which is annexed a short History of the Jewish Affairs, from the end of the Old Testament to the birth of our Saviour. By Samuel CRADOCK. London, 1683; 1695, folio.

7. A Compleat History of the Holy Bible, in which are inserted the Occurrences that happened during the space of about four hundred years, from the days of the Prophet Malachi to the birth of our Blessed Saviour. The whole illustrated with Notes. By Laurence HowEL, M.A. London, 1725, 3 vols. 8vo. new edition, London, 1806, 3 vols. 12mo.

8. A New History of the Holy Bible, from the Beginning of the World to the Establishment of Christianity, with answers to most of the controverted questions, dissertations upon the most remarkable passages, and a Connection of Profane History all along. By Thomas STACKHOUSE, A.M. London, 1752, 2 vols. folio.

the variety of valuable illustration which the author has brought This work has always been highly esteemed for its utility and together from every accessible source. A new edition of it was published in 1817, in three volumes, 4to., with important corrections and additions, by the Rev. Dr. Gleig, one of the bishops of the Scottish episcopal church.

9. The History of the Hebrew Commonwealth, from the earliest times to the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 72; translated from the German of John JAHN, D.D. With a continuation to the time of Adrian. London, 1829, 2 vols. 8vo. 17. 4s.

Though not so stated in the title-page, this is a reprint of the original work of the learned Professor Jahn, translated by M. Calvin E. Stowe, of Andover [Massachusetts), and published at New York in 1829, in one large volume, containing 692 pages. In a note, however, at the end of Professor Stuart's Preface, it is stated that the whole has been thoroughly revised; and such alterations made as seemed requisite to render the author's meaning clear and intelligible. This work of the late learned Professor Jahn contains the most succinct and critically arranged history of the Jews which is extant: it exhibits throughout manifest impres sions of the same care, diligence, deep research, and sound judg ment, which characterizes his other treatises. The continuation is neatly translated from Basnage's History of the Jews, in French, and fills up a chasm in the history of that people, which it is de sirable to have supplied. Professor Stuart, of Andover, recom mends every theological student to make himself familiar with this work throughout. "It is impossible that he should not reap the benefit of such an acquisition." (Vol. i. Pref. p. ix.)

10. Christ. NOLDII Historia Idumæa, seu de Vità et Gestis Herodum Diatribe. Franequeræ, 1660, 12mo.

This volume contains notices of eighty-three persons of the Family of the Herods; and the learned author has introduced many valuable notes illustrating the works of the Jewish historian, and occasionally vindicating him from the censures of Baronius, Serrarius, and other critics. This book is not of very common

occurrence.

11. Commentaries on the Affairs of Christians before the time of Constantine the Great: or an enlarged View of the Ecclesiastical History of the first three centuries. Translated from the Latin of Dr. MOSHEIM, by R. S. Vidal, Esq. London, 1813, 2 vols. 8vo.

12. Jo. Francisci BUDDEI Historia Ecclesiastica Veteris Testamenti. Editio tertia. Hala, 1726-29, 2 vols. 4to.

13. Jo. Georgii WALCHII Historia Ecclesiastica Novi Testamenti variis observationibus illustrata. Jenæ, 1734, 4to.

14. Ecclesiastical Annals from the Commencement of the

Scripture History to the Sixteenth Century: being a compressed Translation (with notes) of the Introductio ad Historiam et Antiquitates Sacras of Professor Spanheim, of Leyden; and containing a succinct notice of the principal events, and the state of the Church in each century. To which are prefixed the Elements of Chronology, Chronological Tables, and the Geography of Palestine. By the Rev. George WRIGHT. London, 1828, 8vo.

Numerous ecclesiastical histories of the Old and New Testa

ment were published on the Continent in the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; an account of which may be seen in Walchii Bibliotheca Theologica Selecta, vol. iii. pp. 145– 180. Among these, Professor Spanheim's "Introductio ad Historiam Sacram" enjoyed a high reputation. The most complete edition is to be found in the collection of his works. As these, from their size and price, are not accessible to ordinary students, Mr. Wright has conferred a favour on them by presenting to them the substance of Spanheim's learned treatise in an English dress.

An abridgment of this well-known and deservedly-esteemed work was published in 1817, in 12mo.

16. Female Scripture Characters, exemplifying Female Virtues. By Mrs. KING. Tenth edition. London, 1826, 12mo. The pious and accomplished authoress of this excellent work, which was first published in 1811, composed it expressly for the use of females, in order to supply the absence of Female Scripture Characters in Mr. Robinson's volumes, in which two women only are introduced. Mrs. King's work is much and deservedly used in schools as well as in private families.

17. Female Scripture Biography; including an Essay on what Christianity has done for Women. By Francis Augustus Cox, M.A. London, 1817, 2 vols. 8vo.

18. Scripture Biography; or, Lives and Characters of the Principal Personages recorded in the Old and New Testaments. By John WATKINS, LL.D. London, 1809, 12mo.

19. Scripture Portraits: or, Biographical Memoirs of the most Distinguished Characters recorded in the Old Testament and in the Evangelists. By Robert STEVENSON. London, 1817-20, 4 vols. 12mo.

This work is also to be found in the second and third volumes or the Collective Works of Bishop Taylor, edited by the Rev. J. R. Pitman, with a memoir of the bishop's life and writings by the late Bishop Heber; who has given an able and interesting analysis of lars," in which this great and good man has departed from the usual the Great Exemplar,' and has pointed out some important particuTaylor's Works, vol. i. pp. exxix.-cxxxix.) An abridgment of the sense of the church, and the general analogy of Scripture." (Bishop Great Exemplar' was published by the Rev. W. Darnell, London,

1818, 8vo.

24. The History of the Life of Jesus Christ, taken from the New Testament, with Observations and Reflections, proper to illustrate the Excellency of his Character and the Divinity of his Mission and Religion. By George BENSON, D.D. London, 1764, 4to.

25. Observations on the History of Jesus Christ, serving to illustrate the Propriety of his Conduct and the Beauty of his Character. By David HUNTER, D.D. Edinburgh, 1770, 2 vols. 8vo.

26. The Private Character of our Lord Jesus Christ, con

These volumes, which are neither scientific nor elementary, are designed for well-informed but not learned readers: each article, in alphabetical order, contains a narrative of facts drawn from the Bible, an explanation of difficulties, a sketch of the character, and finally a short summary of the principal texts of Scripture, in which the person is mentioned, besides those which immediately relate to his history. The work is, upon the whole, executed with ability: the objections of infidels are fairly met, and satisfactorily answered, and many judicious reflections are interspersed.

21. A Critical History of the Life of David, in which the principal events are ranged in order of time: the chief objections of Mr. Bayle and others against the character of this prince, and the Scripture account of him, and the occurrences of his reign, are examined and refuted; and the Psalms which refer to him are explained. By the late Rev. Samuel CHANDLER, D.D. London, 1766, 2 vols. 8vo.

A book above all praise; it was occasioned by the publication, in 1762, of a vile and blasphemous tract, entitled "The History of the Man after God's own heart." Dr. Chandler has illustrated many of the Psalms in an admirable manner.

22. An Historical Account of the Life and Reign of David King of Israel interspersed with various Conjectures, Digressions, and Disquisitions. In which, among other things, Mr. Bayle's criticisms upon the conduct and character of that Prince are fully considered. [By Patrick DELANY, D.D.] London, 174142, 3 vols. 8vo.

A respectable and useful work, but greatly inferior to Dr. Chandler's masterly "Critical History of the Life of David:" it was published anonymously, and has been repeatedly printed; and may frequently be obtained at a low price.

23. The Great Exemplar of Sanctity and Holy Life according to the Christian Institution; described in the History of the Life

of his Mission. By Thomas WILLIAMS. London, 1833, 12mo. Both these works contain many ingenious and instructive remarks on the character and conduct of Jesus Christ, which are either not at all noticed, or but imperfectly considered by preceding writers who have discussed the evidences of the Christian Religion.

In the present as well as in the preceding sections of this Appendix, the Author has endeavoured to bring forward the principal Commentators and Biblical Critics, both British and foreign. Many of them, indeed, are too costly to be purchased by the generality of biblical students; but a considerable portion, if not the whole of them, is to be found in our public libraries, and it is desirable to know in what works the best information is to be procured, even though we may not in every instance be able to purchase them, as well as to be on our guard lest we should be misled in buying cheap books which are of comparatively little utility. Ample as these lists are, they might have easily been enlarged, particularly with reference to the earlier works on Sacred Philology, if the limits of the present volume would have permitted it. The reader, however, who is curious in seeing what has been written on this subject, may (besides the authorities already referred to in p. 113. of this Appendix) consult the first volume of the classed Catalogue of the Library of the President and Fellows of Queen's College, Cambridge (London, 1827, royal 8vo.), pp. 22-91.; and also the Bibliotheca Piersoniana, or Catalogue of the Rev. Dr. Pierson's Library (sold by auction in May, 1815). The Sale Catalogues of the principal theological Booksellers of London, which are frequently interspersed with useful bibliographical notices, are particularly valuable, for the numerous commentaries and other works on sacred criticism which they contain, both British and foreign, especially the latter.

On the choice of commentators, it would be presumptuous in the author of this work to offer an opinion; the student will doubtless be regulated in his selection by the judgment of judicious friends or theological tutors.
