JEREMIAH AND LAMENTATIONS
[We would call special attention to the volume of the Speaker's Commentary upon this
Book. It is by Dr. Payne Smith,
Dean of Canterbury, and deserves much praise.]
751. BLAYNEY (BENJAMIN, D.D. Died
1801). Jeremiah and Lamentations. New Translation, with Notes. 8vo. Lond.,
1836. 2/6. (See No. 711.)
Blayney belonged to a
past school of clever men, too apt to suggest new readings, and more able
to appreciate literary beauties than spiritual teachings. He was a zealous
follower of Lowth, but he
lacked the fine taste and poetic genius of his master.

753. HULL (JOHN, D.D.) Exposition upon part of Lamentations. 4to. Lond., 1618. 7/6.
Full of quaintnesses. Marrowy
throughout.
754. KEIL (K. F. 1754—1818). Commentary on Jeremiah and
Lamentations. 2 vols., 8vo. 21/- Edinb.,
T. &T. Clark. 1874.
We have already indicated the direction in which Keil is serviceable. For exact
interpretation he is esteemed, but he is too cold and formal ever to be a
favorite.
755. LANGE'S COMMENTARY.
Jeremiah and Lamentations. By Dr. C. W. Nagelsbach. 1 vol., Imp. 8vo. 21/- Edinb., T. Clark. 1871.
"Whoever becomes possessed of
this great work will have, in a comprehensive form, the results of all
ancient and modern exegesis, with an apparatus criticus of surprising copiousness."—British
Quarterly Review.

756. LOWTH (WILLIAM, M.A.) A Commentary on Jeremiah and
Lamentations. 4to. Lond.,
1718. 1/6. (See Nos. 50
and 712).
This forms a part of what is known as Bp.
Patrick's Commentary. Orme
says that Lowth is
"one of the most judicious commentators on the prophets, and he never prophesies himself"
We wish we could say this of all writers on prophetic subjects.
757. SMITH (THORNLEY). The Prophet of Sorrow; or, Life and Times
oŁ Jeremiah. Cr. 8vo. 4/6. Edinb.,
Oliphant. 1875.
Not a commentary; but as it casts light on the character and times of the
prophet it deserves a place here.
758. SWIFT (DANIEL). Zion's
sufferings: an Exposition of Lamentations V. 12mo. Lond., 1654. 4/-
Strong, rough, coarse. Excessively rare.
759.
UDALL (JOHN) A Commentarie upon
the Lamentations of Jeremy. [Anon.] 4to. Lond.,
1599. 4/- or 5/-
In this extremely rare work the author has labored after brevity, and has
given the abridgment of many discourses; hence, to those who can procure
it, it is all the more useful.
NB. Although Spurgeon has not included Henry Cowles’ Jeremiah
commentary on this list, since other works by Cowles have been included,
and since the commentary is available in digital format, we thought we would
provide the link for interested parties.
