DE. ADAM CLARKE'S COMPLETE COMMENTARY ON THE OLD AND 



NEW TESTAMENTS. 



With a portrait of the author, engraved expressly for this edition, accompanied 

 with Maps, &c. Sheep, spring back, marble edge. The Commentary of Dr. Clarke 

 i8 most deservedly popular, being not only a truly scientific and elaborately learned 

 work, but it is also well adapted to family reading. Liberal in his views, benevolent 

 in his character. Christian in his deportment, and deeply learned in Scripture lore, 

 and all the science of the ancients as well as moderns. Dr. Clarke produced a work 

 every way adapted to the wants of Bible students, preachers, and families. This 

 work, although the largest published west of the mountains, is yet afforded at a price 

 within the reach of all. 



From the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate. 

 It would be difficult to find any contribution to Sacred Literature that has attained 

 to a higher rank than the Commentaries of Dr. Adam Clarke. Whether regarded as 

 a prodi<:'y of human learning, or as a monument of what perseverance and industry, 

 within the compass of a single lifetime, can accomplish, it will long continue to chal- 

 lenge the admiration of men as a work of unrivalled merit. It is a treasury of 

 knmvledo-e, in the accumulation of which, the author seems to have had no purpose 

 in view but the apprehension of truth ; not to sustain a particular creed, but the 

 apprehension of truth for truth's own sake, restrained in the noble pursuits of no 

 party tenets by no ardor for favorite dogmas. It is difficult to conceive of a complete 

 library without this valuable work, and yet alone of itself, it affords to its possessor 

 no mean variety of entertainment. Besides forming a moderate, but clear elucidation 

 of the true meaning of the Sacred Word, it abounds with illustrations in science, the 

 literature of all ages, and the history of all times and all countries ; and as a lexicon 

 for the exposition of abstruse phrases, of difficult terms, and the true genealogy of 

 words of doubtful import, it immeasurably surpasses all similar works of the age. 



" Of the merits of this work we need not speak, as its fame is as wide as the world 

 of lano-uage in which it is written, and as imperishable as the name of its author; 

 but of^thi's edition we may say a word : It consists of four super-royal octavo vol- 

 umes, two of the Old, and two of the New Testament. The type is clear, printed 

 upon a beautiful white paper, of superior texture, bound in a strong and substantial 

 manner with marbled edges. The first volume of the Old Testament contains a 

 superior steel enf^raving of the author. The last volume contains the usual copious 

 alphabetical index, while the entire work is embellished with the usual number of 

 tables and maps. Upon the whole, this is an excellent and cheap edition of this 

 great work of this great man."
