'They are not exactly a Commentary, but what marvellous expositions you have there! You have reading more interesting than any novel that was ever written, and as instructive as the heaviest theology. The matter is quite attractive and fascinating, and yet so weighty, that the man who shall study those eight volumes thoroughly will not fail to read the Bible intelligently and with growing interest.'-C. H. SPURGEON.
