The discerning reader will note that most of these commentaries are put out by familiar, trustworthy publishers who specialize in Reformed & orthodox republication of older works. Two of note may not be as familiar: Klock & Klock (or under its former iterations, James, then James & Klock – eventually, Klock & Klock was bought out by Kregel), a Christian publishing company which reprinted solid, Reformed theological books; generally if published by Klock one can assume - as with Banner of Truth, Naphtali Press, Old Paths, Soli Deo Gloria, Sprinkle, Tentmaker, and the like, that the book will be a valuable contribution to a Reformed library. Second, Nichol’s Series of Divines: these volumes are the 19th century basis of many modern or semi-modern reprints. The Council of Publication for Nichol’s series works was made up of such men as W. Lindsay Alexander, James Begg, William Goold, Andrew Thomson, and others.

Green HB, 324pp, with a list of publications at rear. Spurgeon: “The best thing Gill ever did. He could not exhaust his theme, but he went as far as he could towards so doing.

Cyril Barber says, “Dr. Tatford’s judicious and practical reflections on the purpose of each writer makes a unique contribution to our knowledge of their times… the net result is a work which is deserving of repeated study.” For some reason in volume three, the publisher put the commentary on Malachi before that of Zechariah.
