Excerpt from Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Gospels, Vol. 1 of 2: Designed for Sunday School Teachers and Bible Classes
Tun first edition of these Notes on the Gospels was published in the year 1 832. Since that time sixteen editions, of two thousand each, have been sold, making thirty-two, thousand copies, or sixty four thousand volumes. I need not say that so extensive a sale has greatly surpassed any expectations which I had formed, and that the favor of the public thus shown has laid me under the strongest oblia gations of gratitude. It has demonstrated what I deeply felt when the work was compwed, that such a plain exposition of the Gospels was needed by the public, and particularly that the cause of Sabbath school instruction required it.
The stereotype plates of the Gospels, by a neglect of careful usage, and by the number of impressions taken, having become greatly worn, and it being found necessary to re-cast them, I have taken this opportunity to give to the work a carefirl revision. I have long felt that this was hecessary, and have been pret'ented from doing it only by the dificulty'of correcting a work which is stereotyped. Many points and letters had become broken ofl' many words were dimly printed; and many sentences had become obscure. I have found, also, in revising it, that in many places there were redundant words that some were obscure in their meaning; that some had been printed erroneously at first; that in some instances there was need of additional explanations; and that there were some parts contra dicting others. These errors I have endeavored to correct. Some places have been considerably enlarged. Numerous illustrations and wood-cuts have been introduced; and a valuable map of Jerusalem, by Catherwood, has been added. As the work on the Gos ls is complete in itself, 'i have added at the close of the second volume such tables as I supposed would be useful to the teachers in Sabbath schools. In particular, the chronological table, and ti. Index, have cost me much labour, and I trust will be found to be useful. In the revision of the Work, valuable assistance has been derived from the Union Bible Dictionary of the American sunday-school Union, which has been freely used, and the benefit derived from which is hereby gratefully acknowledged.
