They are not intended to supply the place of larger text-books or of lectures, but it is hoped that they may be found valuable as a supple ment to both, either as offering a convenient means of recapitulation, or as presenting the subject-matter and explanation in a different form. While great care has been taken with regard to the selection of matter, the preparation of the detailed analysis, and the mode of presentation, little claim is made to originality of thought. I ndeed, it would seem that the vast labours of Lightfoot and our other great commentators leave little to be done, and the writers long experience as a teacher has taught him that what is now wanted is not so much an original treatise, as a simple text-book which, while it makes full use of the many valuable existing commentaries, shall endeavour to present its notes in a way most helpful to the understanding and to the memory. Use has been made, therefore, of such artifices as tabulation, insetting, italicizing, etc., to an extent perhaps unusual in works of the kind.
