"It enables every one to be his own commentator. He can at a glance find out three distinct points: First, what is the original Hebrew or Greek of any word in his English Bible; second, what is the literal and primitive meaning of every word; and third, what are proper and reliable renderings as well as parallel passages. It is undoubtedly best that Scripture be made its own interpreter, and this is effected by Young's Concordance." -Christian Standard, Philadelphia. THE NEW REVISED EDITION READY IN JANUARY. After years of patient labor on the part of many expert scholars, a thorough revision of this gigantic work has been accomplished. In this grand revision over five thousand corrections have been made. The first aim has been to secure a very careful examination of the headings as regards every word, Hebrew or Greek, under which the passages are given. Especial vigilance was needed to see that the words were properly vocalized. The proper accentuation of the Greek called for a corresponding amount of attention. The transliteration has been subjected to thorough revision. In various instances the headings have been made more full. Especial attention has been paid to punctuation, and slips in spelling which had crept in have been rectified, though errors of this kind had been found to be comparatively few. Where requisite, other alterations and corrections have been made. A summary of the chief results given by recent topographical and archæological research to the illustration of Scripture is contributed by Rev. Thomas Nicol, B. D., of Edinburgh. This revision secures for this well-known Concordance to the Bible, for years to come, a continuance of popularity as the most desirable work of the kind in existence, considering convenience, practicability, fullness, accuracy, and workmanship.
