"Henry's _Exposition of the Old and New Testaments_ first appeared collectively in 1710[2], five[3] vols. folio; but the recent edition of 1810[4], in six vols. 4to., is the best[5], as the last volume contains[6] additional matter from the author's MSS. left at his decease.--Dr. Gill's _Exposition of the New Testament_ was published in 1746, &c., three vols. folio; of the Old, in 1748[7], &c., nine[8] vols. folio; but the work advancing in reputation and price, became rare, so as to induce Mr. Bagster[9] to put forth a new edition of the whole, in ten[10] vols. 4to. I recommend the annotations of Gill to every theological collector, and those who have the quarto edition will probably feel disposed to purchase Gill's _Body of Practical_[11] _Divinity_, containing[12] some account of his life, writings, and character, in two[13] volumes 4to. 1773.[14] These two[15] volumes are worth about 1l. 15s.[16]" [Footnote 2: Instead of 1710, read 1707.] [Footnote 3: This edition is in _six_ volumes.] [Footnote 4: It bears the date of 1811.] [Footnote 5: The best edition of Henry's _Commentary_ was elegantly printed by Knapton, in 5 vols. folio, 1761, known as the fifth edition.] [Footnote 6: This new edition is respectable, except the plates, which had been well worn in Bowyer's _Cabinet Bible_. The _Commentary_ is printed verbatim from the former editions, and has _no_ additional matter from the author's MSS. left at his decease; no mention of anything of the kind is made in the title, preface, or advertisement, until Mr. Dibdin so marvellously brought it to light: upon what authority he makes the assertion remains a mystery. A very considerable number of sets remain unsold in the warehouse of a certain great bookseller. _Query_. Was the Rev. gentleman's pen dipped in gold when he wrote this puff direct?] [Footnote 7: Not 1748, &c.: it first appeared in 1763, &c.] [Footnote 8: Nine volumes folio should be _six_ volumes folio.] [Footnote 9: It was not Mr. Bagster, but Messrs. Mathews and Leigh of the Strand, who put forth the new edition of Dr. Gill's _Exposition_.] [Footnote 10: It was completed in _nine_ vols. 4to.] [Footnote 11: The title is _A Body of Doctrinal Divinity_.] [Footnote 12: Dr. Gill's _Body of Divinity_ was published by _himself_, and has no account of his life, writings, and character.] [Footnote 13: It was in _three_ vols. 4to, not in two.] [Footnote 14: Instead of 1773, it was published in 1769-70; nor did any new edition appear for many years, until those recently printed in 3 vols. 8vo., and 1 vol. 4to.] [Footnote 15: These two vols. should be _three_ vols.] [Footnote 16: Dr. Gill's _Body of Divinity_ is introduced under the head of "English Bibles!"]
