SAMUEL, SAUL, DAVID
278. KITTO. Daily Bible Illustrations,
"Samuel, Saul, and David." (See
No. 41.)
Should always be consulted.
279. PLUMPTRE (HELEN). The
History of Samuel. 18mo. I/6. Lond.,
Nisbet and Co. 1842.
A children's book, and childlike men
will be thankful for the many very useful hints which it throws out. We
have got more out of it than we have found in huge and learned tomes.
280. STEEL (ROBERT).
Samuel the Prophet. 8vo. 4/6. Lond.,
Nelson & Sons. 1861. S. 2/-
The author has done his work well,
and has shown an evident desire to excite others to a greater knowledge of
the subject than he could impart. Hence he gives a list of the writers upon
Samuel, and such
accounts of them as were within his reach. Young readers will find this
book a great help to them.
281. MILLER (J. A.) Saul,
The First King of Israel.
Fcap. 8vo. 1/6. Lond.,
Snow & Co. 1866.
Eminently thoughtful, useful,
practical sermons. We do not see how Saul's life-failure could be more
profitably set forth.

282. BLAIKIE (WILLIAM G.,
A.M.) David, King of Israel:
the Divine Plan and Lessons of his Life. 8vo. 5/- Lond., Nisbet & Co. 1861.
Dr. Blaikie is a good writer. This
Life of David has supplied a great lack.
283. CHANDLER (SAMUEL, D.D., F.R.S.,and F.A.S. 1693—1766). A
Critical History of the Life of David. 2 vols., 8vo. Lond., 1766. S. 5/- I vol., 8vo.
J.H. & J. Parker. 1853. S. 5/-
This is a masterpiece as a critical history, and the best of Chandler's productions. Many of the Psalms
are explained with commendable learning, but the spiritual element is absent.
284. DELANY (PATRICK,
D.D., Dean of Down
1686—1768). An Historical Account of the Life and Reign of David.
[Anon.] 2 vols., 8va. Lond., 1745. 4/-
Delany was a friend of Swift, no great recommendation for
a commentator. He defends David in a way which David would have sternly
repudiated. Chandler
is far preferable to Delany,
but both are devoid of the evangelical spirit.

285. KINGSLEY (CHARLES, M.A.) David. Four Sermons. Fcap. 8va.
2/6. Lond., Macmillan
& Co.
In his usual free and easy manner Kingsley
speaks of David’s strength and his weakness, his anger and his
deserts. The character of this writer is supposed to be well understood,
but we question if many have formed a true estimate of him. For commenting
purposes these sermons are of small value; they are plain, practical
discourses.

286. KRUMMACHER (F. W., D.D.) David, the King of Israel. Cr.
8vo., 7/6. Edinb., T.
& T. Clark.
Anything by Krummacher is
worthy of patient reading.
287. LAWSON (GEORGE, D.D.
1749—1820.) Discourses on the History of David. 12mo. Berwick, 1833. S. 3/6.
Here the life of David is piously
turned to practical use. Delany and Chandler are but bones, and Lawson the
marrow.
288. MARBECK (JOHN).
The whole History of King David. 4to. 1579.
This is in English metre, and was written by the famous organist of the
Royal Chapel in Windsor,
in the reign of Henry VIII. He narrowly escaped martyrdom. His work
entitled "Booke of Common Praier noted," is the groundwork of the
plain-song used in our Cathedrals from the Reformation to the present day. Marbeck's History of David is very
rare. We cannot therefore set a price.
289. [ROGERS (Mrs.)] The Shepherd King. By the Authoress of
"The Folded Lamb." 12mo. 3/6. Lond., Nisbet. 1856. S.1/6.
This authoress writes well for the young, and her book will be useful to
those who teach them.
290. SMITH (GEORGE., LL.D. and F.A.S.) The Life and Reign of
David. Cr. 8vo., 7/6. Lond.,
Longmans. 1867. S. 3/6.
David's life is here concisely written, with such of the Psalms interwoven
as can be referred to special periods. It cannot be read without
ministering instruction.
291. TAYLOR (WILLIAM M.,
D.D. Of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York).
David: his Life, and its Lessons. Cr. 8vo. 8/6. Lond., Sampson Low, Marston & Co. 1875.
A grand work which should be in every
library.

292. THOMPSON (HENRY,
M.A.) Davidica. Twelve Sermons on the Life and Character of David. 8vo. Lond., 1827. 1/6.
Discourses of the kind which are usually published by subscription; rather
pretentious, but with nothing in them. The process of subscribing to print
sermons is one suggested by kindness, but seldom directed by reason.
293. VINCE (CHARLES, Baptist Minister, of Birmingham. Died 1875).
Lights and Shadows in the Life of King David. Cr. 8vo. 5/- Lond., Elliot Stock. 1871.
Sermons of the highest order upon a
few incidents in David's life. They are models of chaste, subdued, but
powerful preaching.
