This volume includes lengthy parallel passages, which suggest the appropriate meaning of the text. In general, the marginal references were simply used to indicate the chapter and verse, here these important notes, "comparing spiritual things with spiritual," are quoted at length. The condensed comments by Matthew Henry and Thomas Scott constitute the principal value of this edition.

Macfarlane, later printing; Folio (340 x 270mm); engraved frontispiece, title, scripture themed maps in colour, several engravings taken from photographs, family registrar between Testaments as usual, minor spotting to prelims; bound in dark brown full morocco, blind stamped to upper board enclosing stylised floral lozenge, ruled in gilt with dentelle like borders, inner-dentelles, six compartments to spine gilt-tooled, lettering in gilt, boards set in brass with two sturdy clasps, all edges gilt, minor wear to extremities of spine, remarkable condition for the weight and size, very good indeed.
