Excerpt from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Vol. 1: For Family and Private Use; With the Text Complete, and Many Explanatory Notes; St. Luke In one important respect the present volume will be tound to differ from the two which have preceded it. Allude to the explanatory notes which I have appended to each portion of Scripture expounded. These notes are so numerous that some may think they occupy a disproportionate place in the volume. I trust, however, that the majority of readers will think that they are worth the space which they fill. A few words on the nature of these notes may not be out of place. I am desirous to explain the object I have had in view in the preparation of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
