EZRA NEHEMIAH, and ESTHER
320. KEIL (K. F.) Commentary on Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther.
Translated by Sophia Taylor. 8vo. 10/6. Edinb.,
T. &. T. Clark. 17. T.L. 1873.
Just the kind of book in which Keil's
method of commenting appears to the best advantage. He gives much needful
information, and thus supplements more didactic works. We cannot read Keil with pleasure, for we want
spiritual meat, but yet it is most desirable for us to know what the text
really means.
321. PILKINGTON (JAMES, B.D. Bishop
of Durham. 1520—1575). A Godlie Exposition upon certeine
chapters of Nehemiah. 1585. Reprinted in the Parker Society's edition of Pilkington's Works. 8vo. Camb, 1842.
Very old fashioned and singular, somewhat in the style of Latimer and
perhaps a little coarser. Pilkington's
downright onslaughts upon the vices and follies of his times are fine
instances of personal, faithful preaching; they are, however, so minutely
descriptive of the manners which then prevailed that they are the less
useful now.
The style is cramped, and even grotesque in places, yet Pilkington is a grand old author.
He has only written upon five chapters.

322. RANDALL (J. MONTAGUE, A.K.C.) Nehemiah, the Tirshatha: his
Life and Lessons. Post 8vo. 3/6. Lond.,
Nisbet. 1874.
The substance of thirteen Sunday evening addresses to a village
congregation, "dictated by the author, who is nearly blind, on the
following Monday." These familiar and almost chatty discourses are
full of gospel teaching, and while they give a fair idea of Nehemiah and
his times, they are also enlivened by anecdote, and made exceedingly
interesting. Students will not learn much from these sermons, but they may
see how rustic preaching should be done.
323. SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF NEHEMIAH; or, Chapters for Christian
Workers. [Anon.] Fcap. 8vo. 1/-. Lond.,
66, Paternoster Row, E.C.
The heads of these chapters would serve exceedingly well for the keynotes
of a series of sermons.
324. STOWELL (HUGH, M.A.) A Model for Men of Business; or,
Lectures on the Character of Nehemiah. 8vo. Lond., Hatchards. 1855. S. 3/-
The author does not attempt a full exposition, but aims at furnishing a
plain, practical handbook for men of business and others whose time is
limited. He gives fourteen good, sensible lectures on the Book.
