EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. 



Eighteen years have now passed since this Commentary on the Holy Scriptures was 

 undertaken. Its publication was commenced ten years ago, and the concluding volume 

 is now presented to the public. Its conception was due to the late Lord Ossington, then 

 Speaker of the House of Commons, and to that circumstance it owes its familiar title of 

 "The Speaker's Commentary "—a title, however, which derives a further justification 

 from the warm interest he maintained in the progress of the work and the constant 

 encouragement it received from him. »***♦« 



The Editor cannot but express his deep thankfulness that a work involving so many 

 difficulties, and liable to so many unforeseen disturbances, should thus have been brought 

 to its conclusion without any substantial deviation either from the principles or the form 

 adopted and explained at its commencement. ****** 



As stated on the title page, it was from the outset a primary purpose of the Commen- 

 tary to furiyish in the notes corrected translations of all passages in which the old version 

 required revision. These emendations of the authorized version, when deemed certain, 

 have throughout the work been printed in a distinctive type, daiker than the rest of the 

 note ; and the reader is thus enabled to see at a glance every correction in rendering 

 which modern scholarship has made really necessary. The work thus done presents sub- 

 .''tantially the advantages of a revised version — a circumstance on which it is desirable to 

 insist in view of the scheme for providing such a version, which about eight years after- 

 wards was set on foot, and has since been partially executed.
