Excerpt from Lectures Exegetical and Practical on the Epistle of James: With a New Translation of the Epistle and Notes on the Greek Text
The expository lectures, which occupy the larger part of the volume, were, in substance, delivered from the pulpit in ordinary course of Sabbath ministration. They have since, however, been rewritten, and in the course of transcriptionconsiderable changes have been made. Some subjects have been treated at greater length than when the discourses were preached whilst of others the illustration has been shortened, the original fulness appearing less suitable for a book than for a spoken address. The introductions, which in most cases simply repeated in a brief form the main points brought out in the previous lecture, have been omitted; and, to secure continuity of exposition, the practical inferences and applica tions, which usually constituted the conclusions, have also been left out, - the practical character of the whole Epistle seeming to render the retaining of these less needful or de sirable than had it been largely doctrinal. The basis of the lectures is a careful exegesis, - a'h endeavour to ascertain the exact shades of thought which the Divine Spirit intended by the words He gave to the apostle. I By all who believe not merely that the Word of God 'is in the Bible, but that the Bible is the Word of God, close attention to the precise force of words and phrases will not be deemed misspent labour. At the same time, the author's aim has been not to write a mere commentary on words, but to bring the apostle, with his human sympathies and his divine inspiration, clearly and fully before the reader, as a friend and counsellor, whose statements and appeals have weight and interest for us as well as for the men of his own time.

Excerpt from Lectures Exegetical and Practical on the Epistle of James: With a New Translation of the Epistle and Notes on the Greek Text
The aim of the author, in writing this book, has been to produce such an exposition of the Epistle as might be useful to Christian readers generally, and might at the same time give some special help to students of the original. These objects are by many deemed all but incompatible with each other; and certainly there is very much hazard, in trying to attain both, of failing to a considerable extent to attain either. But that the combination, which has always seemed to the author a desirable one, con be made with success, has been proved by the acknowledged usefulness, and this as regards both objects, of several recent expository works of the kind, - such, for example, as those of the late venerated and beloved Dr. John Brown. In the present attempt a little novelty has been introduced in regard to arrangement, which the author trusts may in some measure obviate the difficulties. This consists in the placing in a division of the hook by themselves, of all, or almost all, the discussions and remarks which can he intelligible or interesting only to persons acquainted with Greek.
