Publisher Description
"These illustrations of the Proverbs are not critical, continuous, exhaustive," writes William Arnot. "The comments, in imitation of the text, are intended to be brief, practical, miscellaneous, isolated. The reader may, however, perceive a principle of unity running through the whole, if he takes his stand at the outset on the writer’s view point—a desire to lay the Christian System along the surface of common life, without removing it from its foundations in the doctrines of Grace."
