Excerpt from Notes: Explanatory and Practical, on the General Epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude From the Rev. Richard Alliott, LL.D, Lambeth. I have great pleasure in recommending Barnes "Notes" to the Christian public. k From the Rev. Ralph Wardlaw, D.D. I have examined the "Notes" of the Rev. Albert Barnes on a considerable variety of testing passages; and, so far as my examination bus gone, I feel confident in pronouncing them to be characterized, in no ordinary degree, by discriminative judgment, sound theology, unostentatious learning, practical wisdom, and evangelical piety. A boon of greater benefit to the public can not be bestowed than, along with correct and cheap Bibles, to give wide circulation, by cheap editions, to Commentaries on the Bible such as this; and especially in times when the exclusive authority of Holy Scripture, in all matters of faith and practice, requires to be so firmly maintained and universally inculcated. From the Rev. J. W. Massik, D.D., Manchester. I had often consulted Barnes Notes on parts of the Sacred Volume, and found them replete with profitable and suggestive matter. I wish every village pastor and Sunday school teacher in Britain had a complete copy of them. They would afford valuable assistance to many in more exalted spheres. From Sir Culling E. Eardley, Barf. I have much pleasure in expressing my admiration of Barnes Notes. Independently of the merit of the work itself, from its simplicity and clearness to even the humblest intelligence, it is well got up; the maps are very good; and its moderate price places it within the reach of most classes. You have my best wishes in the publication. From the Rev. W.Lindsay Alexander, D.D., Edinburgh. I have long regarded the Notes of the Rev. Albert Barnes on the Gospels and Epistles as the best commentary for popular use extant on the New Testament. They are, for the most part, simple, clear, concise, and accurate; embodying the results of much reading, without any offensive parade of learning. It would be well that they were in the hands of all who read the New Testament. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
