ELIJAH, ELISHA, &c.
303. ANDERSON (JAMES,
S. M., M.A.) Discourses on Elijah, &c. 8vo. Lond., 1835 2/-
Ordinary sermons by a "Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen."
Rhetorical and grandiose, but not expository.
304. BAYNE (PETER). The Days of Jezebel. An Historical Drama.
12mo. 6/-Lond., Strachan
& Co. 1872.
A fine poetic drama, worthy of quotation by preachers; but hardly in the
line of works contemplated by this Catalogue.
305. EDERSHEIM (ALFRED, D.D.) Elisha the Prophet, a Type of
Christ. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond.,
W. Hunt & Co. 1873.
This author is always interesting, shewing close acquaintance with Jewish
customs, and knowing how to utilize his information.
306. HOWAT (H. T.) Elijah, the Desert Prophet. Cr. 8vo. 5/- Edinb., Johnstone & Hunter.
1868.
Very picturesque and poetical. A work to be read for enjoyment.
307. KRUMMACHER (F. W., D.D.)
Elijah the Tishbite. Translated from the German. [Numerous editions; one
has lately been issued by the Religious Tract Society. Cr. 8vo. 3/-] S.
1/6.
Too well known and approved to need
any commendation from us.
308. MACDUFF (J. R., D.D.)
The Prophet of Fire. Post 8vo. 6/6.
Lond., James Nisbet& Co. 1863.
Dr. Macduff writes popularly, yet he
is by no means weak or shallow, He is to the young minister all the more
useful, because he has worked out the problem of making sound thought
intelligible to the multitude.

Reflections on the Life and Times of Elijah. By C. H. M. 1/-Lond., G. Morrish. Strongly Plymouthistic.
A small affair.

310. BLUNT (HENRY, M.A.) Lectures upon the History of Elisha.
12mo. 5/6. Lond.,
Hatchards. 1839. S. 2/-
We like Blunt better upon
Elisha than upon any other portion of Scripture. He says that, had he known
of Krummacher’s having written upon the subject, he should not have
attempted it himself. A wise observation. What shall he do that cometh
after a King, or after a Krummacher?

311. DOTHIE (W. P., M.A.) The History of the Prophet Elisha. Cr.
8vo. 2/6. Lond., Hodder
& Stoughton. 1872.
Sketchy. Not very deep, but interesting.
312. GLYN (GEORGE L., Bart.) Life of Elisha, in eleven plain
dis-courses. 8vo. Lond.,
Wertheim & Macintosh. 1857. S. 1/-
Evangelical and simple. Ministers do not need it.

313. KRUMMACHER (F. W., D.D.)
Elisha. Translated from the German. Lond.,
Nisbet & Co. 1838. S. 1/6.
Of this we may say as we did of the
same author's Elijah,—it needs no commending from us.
314. BULLOCK (CHARLES). The Syrian Leper. Fcap. 8vo. 2/6. Lond., Wertheim & Macintosh.
1862. S. 1/3.
Telling in style, and earnestly evangelical. These chapters are good
specimens of popular expounding.

315. MACDUFF (J. R., D.D.)
The Healing Waters; or, The Story of Naaman. An Old Testament Chapter on Providence and Grace.
Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond.,
Nisbet. 1873.
In Dr. Macduff's best manner: the
story of Naaman is admirably handled, and made to teach the gospel with
much freshness.

316. ROGERS (DANIEL, B.D. Puritan.
1573—1652). Naaman the Syrian, his disease and cure; discovering
lively to the reader the spiritual leprosie of sinne and selfe-love;
together with the remedies, viz., selfe-denial and faith. Folio. Lond., 1642. 7/-to 10/-
A huge volume of 898 folio
pages, almost large enough to have loaded one of Naaman's mules. It is a
work which exhausts the subject and turns it to earnest evangelical uses.
317. WOODWARD (HENRY,
A.M.) The Shunamite. 8vo. 10/6. Lond.
and Cam&, Macmillan
& Co. 1863. S. 3/-
We scarcely remember a more flagrant case of high-sounding verbiage. Here
is the author's way of describing a hen which has hatched ducklings.
—"That much tried bird, whose hard allotment it has been to
hatch and rear a brood of aliens, and who seems as if melancholy had marked
her for her own, when her charge, with unanimous consent, hurry to some
tempting pool of water, and violate her feelings and shock her instincts,
by casting themselves upon that hostile element."
