In different periods of tlie world various attempts have been made to elucidate the Scriptures; sometimes by classical and critical disquisitions, or by illustrations of ancient customs and manners; at others, by extensive voluminous commentaries; but more frequently by homilies and sermons, when certain texts, or portions of the sacred volume, have been selected; and doctrinal, experimental and practical truths deduced from them :and considering the incalculable advantages of religion, and how deeply the eternal interests of mankind are involved in its propagation, we need not be surprised to learn, that men of the most exalted minds, the deepest piety, and most profound erudition, have zealously engaged in the laudable exercise of preaching the unsearchable riches of Christ, and in labouring to make manifest the savour of his knowledge in every place.
