ESTHER.

326 COOPER (THoMAs). The Churches Deliverance; containing Meditations and short Notes upon the Booke of Hester. 4to. Lond., 16o9. 5/’ to 7/’ We have not been able to meet with this work.

327 DAVIDSON(ALEXANDER D.,D.D.) Lectures on Esther. Cr. 8vo 5/6. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1859.

Helpful lectures. The Book of Esther is here used for instruction in doctrine and practice. The work is not so much for the study as for the family.

328 HUGHES (JOHN). Esther and her People. Ten Sermons. i8mo. 1842.

S. 1/3.

Good evangelical discourses, but nothing very special.

329’ LAWSON (GEORGE, D.D.) Discourses on Esther. I2mo.

Edinb.,I8O4. S. 3/6.

Intended for the general reader. The discourses are as spiritual and unaffected as their excellent author. Dr. John Brown, in commending all the Lawson books, says that “he has rendered subjects, apparently barren, full of instruction.”

330 McCRIE (THOMAS). Lectures on Esther. I2mo. 1838.

S. 1/6.

Dr. Davidson says of Dr. McCrie: “There is an ancient fable .of a king who was gifted with the power of turning everything he touched into gold; and this eminent divine and historian possessed remarkably the gift of rendering every subject he handled so precious, as at least to discourage any one from attempting to follow in his ,.track. £n his Lectures upon the book of Esther, he has certainly left little for any to say w/w may come after hint.”

33I MORGAN (R. C.) The Book of Esther typical of the Kingdom. Sm.

8vo.

1855. S. I/6. An allegorical interpretation, which commences with these words: “The true scene of this beautiful book opens in heaven.” Is heaven under the dominion of Ahasuerus ? Who then is Vashti ?
