it is quotes like this that make the book so readable and so valuable ....

BEZA (THEODORE. 1519—1605.) Job expounded. 8va. 1590. 7/' Beza was the great friend and assistant of Calvin. As a commentator he lacked the profound insight and comprehensive grasp of Calvin, but as a critical scholar he is said to have been his equal if not his superior. 'This work on Job is rare.

  1. [size=+1]CARYL[/size] (JOSEPH. 1602—1673). Exposition, with Prac-tical Observations. 12 vols., 4to. 1648—1666. 55/-Also in 2 vols., folio, 1676. 50/-Caryl must have inherited the patience of Job to have completed his stupendous task. It would be a mistake to suppose that he is at all prolix or redundant; he is only full. In the course of his expounding he has illustrated a very large portion of the whole Bible with great clearness and power. He is deeply devotional and spiritual. He gives us much, but none too much. ]aris work can scarcely be superseded or surpassed.
  2. " " An Abridgment of Caryl's Exposition. 8vo. Edinb., 1836. 1/6. We do not believe in abridgments of a book which is goad throughout. Think of twelve large volumes condensed into one small one! An ox in a gallipot is nothing to it.

Interesting, I am a big fan of Spurgeon's writings also, they helped me a great deal last year. I currently use a Matthew Henry commentary and find that most useful.

http://www.spurgeongems.org/ is another good resource

I have used this book for while, to select all my commentaires. It is fantastic! I have always wished that it was available online.

Once I saw an upadated vesion, too, which was obviously particularly useful. I didn't buy it, though, and have regretted it since. Does anyone know anything about it?

And, oh, yes, Spurgeon is fantastic. Has anyone read his 'Treasury of David', on the psalms - I have never felt like anything else on the psalms was worth buying, after that...
