HENRY, MATTHEW: Henry’s Commentary. Matthew Henry’s Exposition of the Old and New Testament; 3 vols. Vol I, Genesis to Esther; Vol II, Job to Malachi; Vol III, New Testament. With Memoir on the life of Matthew Henry in Vol I.
John Childs. Bungay. 1846
Tall 8vo. In full calf leather bindings with gilt to spines and morocco title labels. Marbled edges. Brown endpapers. 1184, 1520, 1417pp. With b/w engravings, portrait frontis and fold out map in Vol III (upside down). Vols I & II in very good condition, Vol III good. Spines and covers slightly rubbed and marked. Corners slightly rubbed and bumped. Vol III front board almost detached and has split across spine, with splits at top and bottom edges at back of spine. Owner’s inscription on front endpapers dated 1846. Map has small tear. A commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the New Testament. Not a work of textual criticism, its attempt at good sense, discrimination, its high moral tone and simple piety with practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its English style, made it one of the most popular works of its type. Vol III has a map of the travels of St Paul which is bound in upside down. Includes a memoir of the life of Matthew Henry by J.B.Williams.
