Excerpt from Dr. Augustus Neander's Scriptural Expositions of the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians, and the General Epistle of James IN offering the following work of Neander to the American public, some brief explanation of its character seems to be necessary. Many, who have only heard of the author as one of the most profound scholars and thinkers of the age, might otherwise be deterred from reading it, by the supposition that it was merely a work of learned criticism. Such, however, is far from being the case. It was the beginning of a series of popular practical commentaries, intended to embrace the more important portions of the Bible. Next to the Epistle Of James, which was completed, and a translation of which we expect shortly to present to the public, were to follow the Epistles of John, then the Gospels, the Psalms, &c., as rapidly as the public duties of the author would allow. The surpassing excellence of the beginning makes us deeply lament the loss to the church, through the recent death of the great and good N sander, of so rich an addi tion to its means of understanding the Scriptures, and one so happily adapted to the wants of common Chi-is tians. This, however, does not impair the value of the separate parts, each division being complete in itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
