Excerpt from A Commentary, Critical, Expository, and Practical, on the Gospels of Matthew and Mark: For the Use of Ministers, Theological Students, Private Christians, Bible Classes, and Sabbath Schools The series to which the present volume belongs, is designed to embrace the four Gospels and the Acts, to be followed by a Greek edition of the same portion of the New Testament, for the use of those who are acquainted with the original language. The re maining volumes will be issued without any further delay, than may result from the official labors of the author, which leave but a small portion of daily time or strength for extra labors of this kind. The text of this volume is an exact reprint of the recent emen dation of the American Bible Society, which approaches, perhaps, as near to the standard of accuracy as any edition of the English Bible extant.
