A popular and useful commentary from the early 19th century which was reprinted multiple times. A married set, ours lacking volume four (which is not particularly difficult to acquire as an orphan volume) of three volumes from 1857 being the complete Old Testament with commentary, and one New Testament volume from 1839.
