THE PROPHETS

710.    KITTO (JOHN, D.D.) "Isaiah and the Prophets." In Daily Bible Illustrations.” (See No. 41).

Should be consulted wherever the readings touch upon a passage.

711.    LOWTH (BISHOP) and others. A Literal Translation of the Prophets from Isaiah to Malachi, with Notes by Lowth, Blayney, Newcome, &c. 5 vols. 8vo. Lond., 1836. 10/- to 15/.

Concerning each of the five volumes we refer the reader to our notices under the separate books.

712.    LOWTH (WILLIAM, B.D., 1661—1732, Father of Bp. Lowth). Commentary on the Prophets. 4 vols. 4to. Lond., 1714.

This is Lowth's part of Patrick (No. 50). He was more spiritual than those with whom he became associated, which is not saying much.

713.    NOYES (GEORGE R., D.D.). A New Translation of the Hebrew Prophets. 3 vols., 12mo. New York, 1849.

We are bound to commend this author's learning, taste, and candour, even though we differ widely from him. The reader must not look for savour or spiritual quickening, but use the work as a literary help only.

714.    WILLIAMS (ROWLAND, D.D.) The Hebrew Prophets during the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires. Translated afresh from the Original, with Illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo. 22/6. Lond., Williams & Norgate. 1866—71.

The author does not admit that there are references to the Messiah in the Prophets. Whatever he may have written, this fatal error deprives it of value. A man writing in that fashion should have been a rabbi in the synagogue, and not a minister among professed Christians.
