DANIEL
770. AMNER (R.) Essay
towards interpretation. 8vo. Lond.,
1776.
Written on the absurd hypothesis that the prophecies were all fulfilled
before the death of Antiochus Epiphanes.
771.
AUBERLEN (CARL AUGUST, Ph.D.) The
Prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation, by C.A.A. Translated by Adolphe
Saphir. 8vo. Edinb., T.
& T. Clark. 1856. 5/-
Not a textual commentary, but a treatise upon the mysterious prophecies. Auberlen’s spirit is
reverential and his views are evangelical, or we should not have found Mr. Saphir translating it. He
acknowledges his indebtedness to Roos,
No. 799. We must leave the interpretations to be judged by those who are
learned in such subjects.

772. BARNES (ALBERT).
Notes. Blackie's edition. 2vols., post 8vo. 7/- S. 3/6.
Dr. Wardlaw said of this
work:-"I have examined the 'Notes' of' the Rev. Albert Barnes on a
considerable variety of testing passages; and, so far as my examination has
gone, I feel confident in pronouncing them to be characterized, in no
ordinary degree, by discriminative judgment, sound theology, unostentatious
learning, practical wisdom, and evangelical piety."

774. BIRKS (T. R., M.A.) The Two Later Visions of Daniel historically
explained. Fcap. 8vo. 6/- Lond.,
Seeley. 1846.
We must leave judgment upon this work and the preceding one to those
skilled in prophetic interpretation.
775. BRIGHTMAN
(THOMAS. Puritan.
1557—1607). A most comfortable Exposition of the last and most difficult
part of the Prophecie of Daniel, from the 26th verse of the 11th Chapter to
the end of the 12th Chapter, wherein the restoring of the Jewes and their
calling to the faith of Christ after the utter overthrow of their three
last enemies is set forth in lively colors. 4to. Lond., 1644.
This exposition and the author's commentary on Canticles are appended to
his work on Revelation, and do not appear to have been published
separately. In his title-page Brightman
is called a bright and
worthy man, and in the preface we are told that "he shined every way
and was a Brightman
indeed." His work is rather a curiosity than a treasure.
776.
BROUGHTON (HUGH. 1549—1612). Daniel's Chaldee
Visions. Works. Folio. Lond., 1662.
This author was pedantic and eccentric, but yet a man of real learning. His
works have almost disappeared. In his own day some considered him a sage
and others a quack. He was a little of both.
777. CALVIN (JOHN).
Commentaries upon Daniel. 4to. Lond.,
John Day. 1570. 10/-
Also in Calvin's complete works.

778. COLEMAN (THOMAS).
Decision, exemplified in Daniel. 8vo. Lond.,
1858.
This is by the author of "Memorials of Independent Churches." It
is intended for children and is suitable for them.
779. COWLES (HENRY, D.D.) See under Ezekiel, No. 761.
780.
DANIEL: Statesman and Prophet.
[Anon]. 8vo. 3/6. Lond.,
Religious Tract Society. [N.D.]
A valuable popular addition to the literature of the book of Daniel.
Objections to its authenticity and inspiration are met, and the assaults of
infidels are made to bring out the evidences of Divine authority with all
the greater clearness. We are delighted with the volume, which is
beautifully got up. Every student and minister should have a copy.
781. DARBY (JOHN
NELSON). Studies. 1/- Lond.,
W. H. Broom.
The name of the writer sufficiently indicates the character of the book.
782. DESPREZ (PHILIP
S., B.D.) Daniel; or, the Apocalypse of the Old Testament. 8vo. 5/- Lond., Williams & Norgate.
1865.
This work is of the Essays and
Reviews school. The author cannot see the Messiah in Daniel. It
is worse than useless.
783. ELLIOTT (E. B.) See under Revelation.
784. FRERE (JAMES
HATLEY, Esq.) A Combined View of the Prophecies of Daniel, Ezra, and St. John. 8vo. Lond., 1826. S. 2/6.
This has been esteemed by many in its day, but we do not recommend its
purchase.
785. GAUSSEN (S. R. LOUIS).
Daniel, explained for Young Persons. 2 vols. 8vo. 9/-Lond., J. & C. Mozley. 1874.
This is a work for children only. We
hope it will not set our Sunday School teachers explaining to their little
ones the image and its toes, the he-goat, and all the other marvels. If
they do attempt it we wish them as well through their task as Professor
Gaussen.

786. HARRISON (BENJAMIN,
M.A., Archdeacon of Maidstone).
Prophetic Outlines of the Christian Church and the Antichristian Power, as
traced in the Visions of Daniel and St.
John. [Warburtonian
Lectures.] 8vo. 1849. 3/-
We like the manner of this book. The
author has been content throughout to trace the true outline of
interpretation without entering an a detailed examination of counter
theories; and he has done this in the spirit of Bishop Ridley, who said
upon a kindred subject, "Sir,
in these matters I am so fearful,
that I dare not speak further than the very text doth, as it were, lead me
by the hand."

Daniel and the Integrity of Zachariah. 8vo. 12/- Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1848. S.
5/6.
Much valuable matter is brought out by the discussion; but few of us have
time to go into it, or any need to do so; for we are fully persuaded of the
integrity of all the prophets, and of their books too.
788. HUIT (EPHRAIM. Puritan).
The whole Prophecie of Daniel Explained. 4to. Lond., 1643. 5/6.
Huit's short doctrinal
summaries of the verses will bring useful subjects before the preacher's
mind; otherwise Huit is
not very remarkable.

Commentary on the Book of Daniel. 8vo 10/6. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1872.
"We have just had occasion to make ourselves
acquainted with Keil's book on Daniel, and we can speak of it in very high
terms. It is marked by great erudition, rare accuracy, and much spiritual
thoughtfulness." -Evangelical Magazine.
791. KELLY (WILLAM). Notes. 12mo. 1/6. Lond., Morrish. 1870.
It needs minds of a peculiar organization to enjoy Plymouth writings. They abound in
peculiar phraseology, which only the initiated can understand. We are sorry
to see such a mind as Mr. Kelly's so narrowed to party bounds.

792. KNOX (J.) Reflections on Daniel. Small 8vo. 1849.
This book is unknown to us.
793. MANCHESTER (GEORGE
MONTAGUE, DUKE OF). The Times of Daniel, Chronological and Prophetical.
8vo. Lond., 1845. 3/-
This work has received the most enthusiastic praise from German writers,
who dwell with pleasure upon his being "erudite and illustrious."
The duke's writing is certainly sui
generis. He is by no means a favorite author with us.
794. MILES (CHARLES POPHAM, B.A.) Lectures, with Notes. [Chap.
I—VII]. 2 vols. 12mo. Lond.,
Nisbet. 1840-41. 3/6.
Commendable sermons and good notes.

D.D., F.R.S. 1614—1687). A Plain and Continued Exposition of the
several Prophecies of Daniel. 4to. Lond.,
1681. 2/6.
If a man had no more than More
on Daniel he would certainly long for more, and need a work more spiritual
and more suggestive.
796. NEWTON (SIR ISAAC, F.R.S. 1642—1727). Observations on Daniel
and the Apocalypse. 4to. Lond.,
1733; 8vo., 1831. 2/- or 3/-
The author's name will always keep this book in repute. The spiritual
student will not glean much from it. Sir Isaac's fame does not rest on his
expositions. The following extract we cannot forbear inserting in this
place :—"The folly of interpreters has been, to foretell times
and things by this prophecy [the Apocalypse], as if God designed to make
them prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought
the prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He
gave this and the prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men's
curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were
fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event; and his own providence,
not the interpreter's wisdom, be then manifested thereby to the
world."

'This learned book is enough to perplex and distract any ordinary mortal,
but probably Dr. Cumming

subsequent writers must be deeply indebted, however much they may differ
from him in other departments of theological study.

799. ROOS (MAGNUS
FREDERICK. 1727—1803). Exposition of such of the Prophecies of Daniel
as receive their accomplishment under the New Testament. Translated by E. Henderson. 8vo. Edinb.,
1811. 1/6 and 2/-
Dr. Henderson gently chides those who are not
sufficiently intent upon prophetical interpretation. There would be fewer
of such delinquents if expositors were more reasonable. Roos, however, is
dull to a dreadful degree: we should say that nobody ever read him through,
except his translator. He is very devout, and this is the saving point
about his book. We cannot tell whether the views of Roos are correct or not,
for we cannot keep awake while reading him. As far as we have gone we have
seen some reason to question.
800. RULE (WILLIAM
HARRIS, D.D.). Historical Exposition of Daniel. Cr. 8vo. Lond., Seeley & Co. 1869. 3/-
A notably interesting exposition,
bringing historical facts and memorials to bear upon the prophecy. It is
not merely readable, but attractive.
801. STRONG (LEONARD). Lectures. 12mo. 2/- Lond.,Yapp. 1871.
Notes of instructive lectures.
802. STUART (MOSES). A Commentary on the Book of Daniel 8vo. Boston, U.S. 1850. S. 9/6.
Stuart gives quite an
independent interpretation, and fails to see the.Pope and his Cardinals in Daniel, for which we
like him all the better. We do not accept his conclusions, but he is always
worthy of respect.

805.
WILLET (ANDREW). Hexapla in
Danielem. Folio. 1610. 8/6.
Dr. Williams says that this
is a work of much information, as it contains the "opinions of many
authors on each point of difficulty." He adds that in none of his
expositions does Willet
"discover more skill and judgment than in the present work."
806. WILSON (JOSEPH, A.M.) Horae Propheticae; or Dissertation on
the Book of Daniel. 8vo. Oundle,
1824. 2/-
We consider this to be of more than average worth.

history.
