Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The preparation of these Lectures was peculiarly interesting to myself, and they are given to the press in the hope that they may contribute to the promo tion of that revival of Biblical Study which, during recent years, has been so gratifying to every lover of the Scriptures. That He without Whose blessing all human efforts must be vain may deign to use these pages for the advancement of His glory in the temporal and spirit ual welfare of man is my heart’s desire and prayer.
