Excerpt from Jeremiah, and His Lamentations: With Notes, Critical, Explanatory and Practical, Designed for Both Pastors and People

The present volume on Jeremiah and his Lamentations concludes the series on the Old Testament prophets. I have appended a special dissertation on the system of opinions on prophecy currently known as the Premillennial Advent of Christ, or, more briefly, Premillennarianism. The merely speculative points of this system I have passed over briefly, but those points which bear with great practical force upon the nature and design of the present gospel age, being thoroughly vital both to Christian faith and to Christian work, I have labored to discuss fundamentally. This Dissertation and these Notes entire on the Old Testament prophecies are now committed to the Christian public in the prayerful hope that they may serve to obviate some misconceptions, to remove some obscurities, to solve some difficulties, to disclose some new beauties, to illustrate for present use some great principles of God's government in time over nations and men, but more especially to bring out the great points of prophetic revelation with a richer practical force - all being made conducive, through the divine blessing, to a more intelligent faith and to more vigorous and effective labor toward the grand results ere long to be realized in the universal diffusion of the gospel and in the triumphs of its truth and love in all the earth.

Notes on the writings of Solomon are now in course of preparation, and with the divine favor will constitute the next volume.
