"These Expositions are not offered as entirely, of indeed principally, the result of my own personal researches in the wide, and interesting, and difficult field of the Criticism and Interpretation of the Old Testament Scriptures. They are a specimen of what a moderate stock of information on these subjects may do, in enabling a man to turn to account the labors of abler and more learned men." (From the Preface of The Sufferings and the Glories of the Messiah).
