Excerpt from The Minor Prophets: With Notes, Critical, Explanatory, and Practical, Designed for Both Pastors and People

I have adopted mainly the latter method, aiming to meet the wants, not of Hebrew scholars only or chiefly, but of all English readers. I have had in view somewhat specially those who have been and are yet to be trained to thoughtful study of God's word in Sabbath schools and Bible classes, and indeed all those laymen and women who love the Sacred Scriptures, and who naturally wish to know their full and precise meaning. - While in the main it has been my plan to give results only, and not the processes by which I reach them, yet points of great practical interest and value, e., those prophecies respecting the Messiah and his kingdom which yet remain in part to be fulfilled, I have deemed it important to discuss fundamentally and thoroughly, so that the reader may see what principles of interpretation I adopt, and why, - and also to what results they have led me. A superficial treatment of these points ought to be eminently unsatisfactory.

The commentator has his option whether to restrict his work mainly to the unfolding of the exact sense, or to speak more or less fully of the practical and moral applications of the truth which he brings out. These moral applications are, of course, of the utmost importance to every reader; yet usually God has left each reader to make them for himself, and adapt them to his own case. Hence I have thought it cannot be unwise for me to follow for the most part the same method - assuming that Gods word as it came from his lips will have power on men's hearts when the full sense of it is clearly apprehended.
