Excerpt from Biblical Intended as a New and Improved Commentary on the Bible, Vol. 3: Wherein the Author Attempts to Give More Rational Interpretations of Subjects and Passages, Than Are Common in Other Works Having the Same General Purpose, on a Plan That Renders the Book as Well Fitted for Reading as for Reference This is the third volume of the Biblical Review or New and In proved Commentary on the Bible. All that is peculiar to the work, has been sufficiently explained in the preface to the first and second volumes. The present volume completes the commentary on the Pentateuch. It embraces all the laws and institutions of Moses, and treats of them exclusively, the rest of the Pentateuch having been examined m the two previous volumes. Regarding the Decalogue as the basis of the whole Mosaic Code as a summary and comprehensive statement of all the principles involved therein, we have arranged the subjects contained in this volume, in the order of the ten commandments. We have placed under each commandment, all analagous and kindred subjects, and discussed them in that order. It will be seen that all parts of the system do easily and naturally admit of this arrangement; which seems to indicate, that it was originally designed to be regarded in this form. And, viewed in this way, we see a beauty, harmony and consistency in the system, that we should not otherwise be likely to discover.
