LEVITICUS.

213 BONAR (ANDREW A.) Leviticus. With Notes. 8vo. 8/6. Lond., Nisbet & Co. 1861.

Very precious, Mr. Andrew Bonar has a keen eye for a typical analogy, but he always keeps the rein upon his imagination, and is therefore safe to follow. He is a master in Israel.

214 BUSH (GEORGE). Notes on Leviticus. Sm. 8vo. New York, 1857. 3/- The author read extensively to produce this volume. In his later years he became a Swedenborgian, but there is no trace of that leaning in this or his other comments. He inserts the notes of the Pictorial Bible, but handsomely acknowledges them.

215 CUMMING (JoHn, D.D.) Sabbath Morning Readings on Leviticus.

Sm. 8vo. Lond., J. F. Shaw. 1854. 2/- For popular reading. The author wrote too much to be profound.

216 CUMMING (JOHN, D.D.) The Great Sacrifice; or, the Gospel according to Leviticus 2:1-16/- A companion to the volume last mentioned.

217 JAMES (HORATIO, M.A.) Sermons on the Levitical Types. Sm. 8vo.

Zonal., I847. 1/6.

Very attenuated. These sermons, like the lean kine, have eaten up the fat kine of the: types and are never the fatter.

218 JUKES (ANDREW). The Law of the Offerings [Leviticus, chap. I-vii]. Cr. 8vo. 3/- Lond., Nisbet & Co. 1854.

,4 very condensed, instructive, refreshing’ book. It will open up new trains of thought to those unversed in the teaching of the types.

219 M[ACKINTOSH] (C. H.) Notes on Leviticus. By C. H. M.

12mo. 2/6. ].and., G. Morrish. x86o.

We do not endorse the Plymouthism which pervades these notes, but they are frequently suggestive. Should be read cautiously.

220 MATHER (SAMUEL. 1626 — 1671). The Figures or Types of the Old Testament. Second edition. 4to. 7/6. Lond., 17o5. Though this is a work upon all the types, it contains so much instructive matter upon the Levitical sacrifices that we cannot forbear mentioning it here. It is one of the old standard books of our fathers.

22i KEACH (BENJAMIN, Baptist Pastor. 164o — 1704). Tropologia.

Folio and Roy. 8vo. 8/- to i8/- This is a vast cyclopaedia of types and metaphors of all sorts, and was once very popular. It is a capital book, though too often the figures not only run on all-fours but on as many legs as a centipede. It is not strictly upon Leviticus, but we felt bound to insert it in this place.

222 MICHAELIS (SIR JOHN DAVID. 1717 — 179I). The Laws of Moses.

Translated by Alexander Smith, D.D. 4 vols., 8vo. at)/- Zonal., I814.

However much of learning there may be here, we are not prepared to recommend a work which treats so sacred a subject with levity and coarseness. e23 NEWTON (BENJAMIN WILLS). Thoughts on Parts of Leviticus.

12mo. Lond., Houlston. x857. S. 2/-

‘This touches only the first six chapters; but it treats of the offerings in a manner deeply spiritual and helpful. This writer has some peculiarities of style and thought; but in matter and spirit he is far removed from the Darby school.

224 SEISS (JosEPH A., D.D.) The Gospel in Leviticus 8:1-36 vo.

6/- Edinb., Thomas C. Jack. i86o.

Twenty-one very admirable lectures, founded upon Bush and Bonar, but containing much original matter. The work deserves attention.

225 WEEMSE {JOHN). Exposition of the Laws of Moses, Moral, Ceremonial, Judicial, etc. 2 vols., 4to. Lond., 1632. 2/6 or 3/’ This contains many useful and curious things, together with fancies and rabbinical trifles. Weemse may generally be bought very cheap, and we should think his work is very little read or cared for. (See Orme’s opinion, No. 2o4.) 226 WILLET (ANDREW). Hexapla; Leviticus. Folio. 1631. 5/6.

Plodding along with his six-fold load, Willet gives us a comparison of ten versions, “handles well nigh two thousand theological questions,” and quotes “above forty authors, old and new.” He sums up all preceding commentaries, both Protestant and Romish.
