The Life of the Rev. George Whitefield, Volume 1 (of 2)
Volume III., Acts and Romans; Volume VI., 1 Corinthians to 2 Timothy.
"This is a very sensible Commentary, replete with sound information."--_British Quarterly Review._
"Of the numerous popular and portable commentaries which have appeared, this is undoubtedly the best. It is learned, clear, terse, and forcible; and imparts in a brief form a large amount of information. For lay preachers and Sunday-school teachers it is admirable, and its price is so moderate that it will be within the reach of very many. It is somewhat less copious than the similar work by Barnes, but it is far more original. There is in it no parade of scholarship, yet only a scholar, and a ripe one, could have produced it. In all the qualifications essential to a commentator Dr. Whedon is second to none, so that he may be taken as a safe and sure guide in the interpretation of the inspired Word. The volumes are beautifully printed, in a small but clear type, and they contain several illustrations which are new and very neat."--_Wesleyan Methodist Magazine._
