"This is a narrative of exploration and discovery in the City of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. It is a volume of unusual interest to the student of antiquities, and throws much light upon what was already partially known about the Holy City, and opens up many curious speculations and suggestions about things that were entirely unknown until the excavations and explorations commenced which the book faithfully records. The maps and illustrations much enhance the interest, and aid in a thorough understanding of the things described. It is a volume of over 400 pages, 8vo., bound in cloth, and altogether beautifully presented."-Springfield Republican.

SERMONS PREACHED AT ST. JAMES'S CHAPEL.

The main thought which underlies this volume is, that the ideas which Christ made manifest on earth are capable of endless expansion, to suit the wants of men in every age; and that they do expand, developing into new forms of larger import and wider application, in a direct proportion to that progress of mankind, of which they are both root and sap. If we look long and earnestly enough, we shall find in them the explanation and solution not only of our religious, but even of our political and social problems. All that is herein said is rested upon the truth that in Christ was Life, and that this Life, in the thoughts and acts which flowed from it, was, and is, and always will be, the light of the race

of man.

Rev. Dr. FAUSSET, York, England, the Commentator.

"I know no exposition of Scripture so terse, so suggestive, and yet so full and so clear."

DEAN ALFORD, the Commentator.

After a long, friendly letter, he apologizes thus: "I have had time only to read sixty pages. It will be a most useful work.

Rev. CHAS. LEE, Havestock Hill.

"The work of Dr. Van Doren contains the maximum of thought in the minimum of space."

THE HOMILIST, London. "The idea of this series is an unusually happy one. gestive."

THE FREEMAN, London.

It is preeminently sug

"This work is much after our own heart. These volumes are among our best helps."

THE CHURCHMAN, London.

"This work contains under each sentence a few brief, well-chosen notes, which will be found of great value.”

SWORD AND TROWEL, Spurgeon, Editor. "This commentary is novel in its arrangement, and well sustains its title of suggestive."

"Dr. Van Doren's work is more condensed than Lange's, containing the pith and marrow of criticism. It will be prized by all who love the doctrines of the Reformation."

MORNING STAR, London.

"In this work are condensed the thought and criticism of many volumes. We shall hail with delight a complete work on this admirable plan."

J. C. RYLE, D. D., Commentator.

"A curious and original work. It succeeds in supplying an astonishing amount of thought and criticism in very few lines."

Rev. JAMES HAMILTON, D. D.

"I am sure Dr. Van Doren will have the gratitude of all whose books are few and whose time is precious.'

Rev. J. JONES, of Belfast.

To ministers and school-teachers I would say, that they will here find an amount of knowledge, in my judgment, not to be found in the same space anywhere else."

W. L. ALEXANDER, D. D., Edinburgh.

"I am much pleased with the plan, and with the success with which it has been carried out.”

THE FORWARD, London.

"This work is cheap, compact, and suited to this hard-working age. The plan is new and useful."

BAPTIST MESSENGER, London.

In ordinary cases we do not consult commentators in two cases out of ten with real advantage. But in the 'Suggestive Commentary' we have not in a single instance been disappointed."

BRITISH QUARTERLY, London.

"Dr. Van Doren, in the form of short sentences, brings together the gist of all previous commentators, and supplies abundance of hints to those who have but little leisure."

ENGLISH PRESBYTERIAN, London.

"To clergymen and students this work is invaluable. We have brought the work under the special notice of our friends in private."

WESLEYAN TIMES, London.

"An excellent idea, admirably worked out. We have tested the work on the Lord's Prayer, and we cordially commend it."

WESLEYAN METHODIST TIMES.

"It is a work to make men think, and not save them from thinking. These volumes will be welcome to many a student of the Scriptures. Hard-worked ministers and Bible-class teachers will be well repaid by studying them.”

THE INDEPENDENT, London.

“This is a remarkable work, and valuable as well. If there ever was multum in parvo, it is here found. The labor in preparing it must have been immense. The work is eminently suggestive, and will save an enormous amount of time."

L. HALSEY, D. D., Professor Theological Seminary, Chicago. "Every page bears marks of thorough and accurate scholarship, and of patient, careful study. It is the most readable commentary we have ever met. It is impossible to say things in quicker time or narrower space than he has said them."

Rev. Prof. SWING, late of Miami University.

"In my pulpit preparations, I prefer the 'Suggestive Commentary' to Lange."

PRINCETON REVIEW.

"This work has been highly recommended by the journals of Great Britain. It certainly evinces thought, labor, and learning.”
