15. Scripture Characters: or, a Practical Improvement of the Principal Histories in the Old and New Testament. By Thomas ROBINSON, M.A. London, 4 vols. 8vo. and 12mo. various editions. An abridgment of this well-known and deservedly-esteemed work was published in 1817, in 12mo. tues. 16. Female Scripture Characters, exemplifying Female VirBy Mrs. KING. Tenth edition. London, 1826, 12mo. The pious and accomplished authoress of this excellent work, which was first published in 1811, composed it expressly for the use of females, in order to supply the absence of Female Scripture Characters in Mr. Robinson's volumes, in which two women only are introduced. Mrs. King's work is much and deservedly used in schools as well as in private families. 17. Female Scripture Biography; including an Essay on what Christianity has done for Women. By Francis Augustus Cox, M.A. London, 1817, 2 vols. 8vo. 18. Scripture Biography; or, Lives and Characters of the Principal Personages recorded in the Old and New Testaments. By John WATKINS, LL.D. London, 1809, 12mo. 19. Scripture Portraits: or, Biographical Memoirs of the most Distinguished Characters recorded in the Old Testament and in the Evangelists. By Robert STEVENSON. London, 1817-20, 4 vols. 12mo. 20. Biographie Sacrée, par A. L. C. COQUEREL. Amsterdam, 1825-26, 4 tomes, 8vo. These volumes, which are neither scientific nor elementary, are designed for well-informed but not learned readers: each article, in alphabetical order, contains a narrative of facts drawn from the Bible, an explanation of difficulties, a sketch of the character, and finally a short summary of the principal texts of Scripture, in which the person is mentioned, besides those which immediately relate to his history. The work is, upon the whole, executed with ability: the objections of infidels are fairly met, and satisfactorily answered, and many judicious reflections are interspersed. 21. A Critical History of the Life of David, in which the principal events are ranged in order of time: the chief objections of Mr. Bayle and others against the character of this prince, and the Scripture account of him, and the occurrences of his reign, are examined and refuted; and the Psalms which refer to him are explained. By the late Rev. Samuel CHANDLER, D.D. London, 1766, 2 vols. 8vo. A book above all praise; it was occasioned by the publication, in 1762, of a vile and blasphemous tract, entitled "The History of the Man after God's own heart." Dr. Chandler has illustrated many of the Psalms in an admirable manner. 22. An Historical Account of the Life and Reign of David King of Israel interspersed with various Conjectures, Digressions, and Disquisitions. In which, among other things, Mr. Bayle's criticisms upon the conduct and character of that Prince are fully considered. [By Patrick DELANY, D.D.] London, 174142, 3 vols. 8vo. A respectable and useful work, but greatly inferior to Dr. Chandler's masterly "Critical History of the Life of David:" it was published anonymously, and has been repeatedly printed; and may frequently be obtained at a low price. 23. The Great Exemplar of Sanctity and Holy Life according to the Christian Institution; described in the History of the Life and Death of Jesus Christ. With Considerations and Discourses upon the several parts of the story, and Prayers fitted to the several mysteries. By Jeremy TAYLOR, D.D., Bishop of Down and Connor, folio: also in 2 vols. 8vo. various editions. This work is also to be found in the second and third volumes or the Collective Works of Bishop Taylor, edited by the Rev. J. R. Pitman, with a memoir of the bishop's life and writings by the late Bishop Heber; who has given an able and interesting analysis of the Great Exemplar,' and has pointed out some important particulars," in which this great and good man has departed from the usual sense of the church, and the general analogy of Scripture." (Bishop Taylor's Works, vol. i. pp. cxxix.-cxxxix.) An abridgment of the 'Great Exemplar' was published by the Rev. W. Darnell, London, 1818, 8vo. 24. The History of the Life of Jesus Christ, taken from the New Testament, with Observations and Reflections, proper to illustrate the Excellency of his Character and the Divinity of his Mission and Religion. By George BENSON, D.D. London, 1764, 4to. 25. Observations on the History of Jesus Christ, serving to illustrate the Propriety of his Conduct and the Beauty of his Character. By David HUNTER, D.D. Edinburgh, 1770, 2 vols. 8vo. 26. The Private Character of our Lord Jesus Christ, considered as an Example to all his Disciples, and a Demonstration of his Mission. By Thomas WILLIAMS. London, 1833, 12mo. Both these works contain many ingenious and instructive remarks on the character and conduct of Jesus Christ, which are either not at all noticed, or but imperfectly considered by preceding writers who have discussed the evidences of the Christian Religion. In the present as well as in the preceding sections of this Appendix, the Author has endeavoured to bring forward the prin cipal Commentators and Biblical Critics, both British and foreign. Many of them, indeed, are too costly to be purchased by the generality of biblical students; but a considerable portion, if not the whole of them, is to be found in our public libraries, and it is desirable to know in what works the best information is to be procured, even though we may not in every instance be able to purchase them, as well as to be on our guard lest we should be misled in buying cheap books which are of comparatively little utility. Ample as these lists are, they might have easily been enlarged, particularly with reference to the earlier works on Sacred Philology, if the limits of the present volume would have permitted it. The reader, however, who is curious in seeing what has been written on this subject, may (besides the authorities already referred to in p. 113. of this Appendix) consult the first volume of the classed Catalogue of the Library of the President and Fellows of Queen's College, Cambridge (London, 1827, royal 8vo.), pp. 22-91.; and also the Bibliotheca Piersoniana, or Catalogue of the Rev. Dr. Pierson's Library (sold by auction in May, 1815). The Sale Catalogues of the principal theological Booksellers of London, which are frequently interspersed with useful bibliographical notices, are particularly valuable, for the numerous commentaries and other works on sacred criticism which they contain, both British and foreign, especially the latter. On the choice of commentators, it would be presumptuous in the author of this work to offer an opinion; the student will doubtless be regulated in his selection by the judgment of judicious friends or theological tutors.
