of Clark's "Foreign Theological Library;" and to the vigorous article on Elijah in Smith's "Dictionary of the Bible;" then to the judicious and sensible notes of the "Paragraph Bible," published by the Religious Tract Society; and to Stanley's "Sinai and Palestine." I also read, with much interest and pleasure, the sketch of Elijah in Evans's 'Scripture Biography," and dipped into Krummacher's "Elijah." This last, I confess, failed to attract me; and, so far as I am conscious, it has had no influence upon the composition of these Discourses.
