Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The third son of Archibald Alexander, Joseph Addison Alexander (1809-1860) graduated at the College of New Jersey in 1826, having devoted himself especially to the study of Hebrew and other languages. From 1830 to 1833 he was adjunct professor of ancient languages and literature at the College, and then moved to Princeton Theological Seminary as an assistant to Charles Hodge, professor of oriental and biblical literature. In 1838 Alexander became associate professor, and succeeded Hodge in that chair in 1840. He transferred in 1851 to the chair of biblical and ecclesiastical history, and in 1859 to that of Hellenistic and New Testament literature, which he occupied until his death. The Trust publishes his Commentary on Acts, in the Geneva series.
