PARABLES OF OUR LORD
[A Selection from a long list, for which see No. 1024].
- ANDERSON (CHARLES, M.A.) New Readings of Old Parables. Cr. 8vo. 4/6. Lond., 1876.
We paid four precious shillings for this book, and find seventy pages of rubbish and fifty more of advertisements. Our readers will, we hope, profit by our experience.
- ARNOT (WILLIAM, D.D. Died 1875). The Parables of our Lord. Cr. 8vo. 7/6. Lond., T. Nelson. 1865.
We do not consider this to be up to our lamented friend's usual high mark of excellence, but it is of great value.
- BOURDILLON (FRANCIS, M.A.) The Parables explained and applied Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Religious Tract Society. [N.D.]
Sufficiently common and commonplace. Platitudes sleepily worded.

- COLLYER (WILLIAM BENGO, D.D.) Lectures on Scripture Parables. 8vo. Lond., 1815. 2/-
(See No. 1006).
- CUMMING (JOHN, D.D.) Foreshadows; or, Lectures on our Lord's Parables. Cr. 8vo. Lond., 1852. 2/-(See No. 1007).
The Doctor evidently prints his sermons without much revision. They are pleasing, popular, and (of course) rather prophetic.

- GRESWELL (E., B.D.) Exposition of the Parables, &c., 5 vols. in 6, 8vo. Oxf, 1834. 27/-
A vast heap of learning and language. The work, though padded out, stilted in style, and often fanciful, is a mine for other writers.
- GUTHRIE (THOMAS, D.D.) The Parables read in the Light of the Present Day. Cr. 8vo. 3/6. Lond., Strahan. 1874.
Twelve Parables treated in Dr. Guthrie's lively, sparkling manner. Flowers in abundance.
- KEACH (BENJ.) Exposition. Folio. Lond., 1701. S. 10/- also 4 vols., 8vo. S. 10/- and 1 vol., imp. 8vo. 1856. 10/-.
Although our honored predecessor makes metaphors run on as many legs as a centipede, he has been useful to thousands. His work is old- fashioned, but it is not to be sneered at.
- KNIGHT (JAMES, A.M.) Discourses on the Principal Parables. 8vo. Lond., 1829. 4/6. (See No. 1009).

- LISCO (FREDERICK GUSTAV). Parables Explained. Fcap. 8vo. 5/- Edinb., T. & T. Clark. 1840. S. 2/6.
Largely composed of citations from Luther and Calvin. The remarks will assist in elucidating the design of the parables.

- TRENCH (R. C., D.D.) Notes on the Parables. Eleventh edition. 8vo. 12/- Lond., Macmillan & Co. 1870.
We do not like Trench's theology in many places, but he is a capital writer. The student will find a very complete list of expositions on the Parables in the appendix at the close of Trench's work.

- UPJOHN (W.) Discourses on the Parables. 3 vols., sm. 8vo. 1824.
Earnestly Calvinistic sermons, full of old-fashioned Gospel. Not very original.
